Director Lenin Rajendran supports Thilakan

Dubai, Apr.1 (NR): Director Lenin Rajendran has made it clear that he would offer Thilakan an opportunity to act in his films, if there is a role that suits him, irrespective of who is opposed to the actor acting in films.

Lenin was speaking at a press conference in Dubai.

"Only fools would deny an opportunity to a great actor like Thilakan. Its certainly not right to ban an actor from acting in films," the director said.

Lenin also said that a trade unionism that is akin to the kind of unionism that the head-load workers had a few decades back is prevalent in the industry today.

"I have not commented on the Thilakan controversy till now. This is because I see the whole thing as a joke. Because an issue that concerns the association must have been solved within the association itself. What happened instead was a washing of the dirty line in public," Lenin said.

"I am often told that there is a segregation based on caste in the industry. I am not interested in all this," he concluded.
