Ever
since
the
Indian
government
imposed
a
lockdown
to
curb
the
rapid
spread
of
COVID-19,
the
daily
wage
workers
have
been
facing
a
tough
time
in
their
lives.
Hence,
many
Indian
celebrities
like
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Salman
Khan,
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Akshay
Kumar,
Thalapathy
Vijay,
Vijay
Sethupathi,
Pawan
Kalyan,
Chiranjeevi
and
others
have
come
out
to
help
the
daily
wage
workers.
Superstar
Rajinikanth
too
donated
Rs
50
lakhs
to
COVID-19
relief
measures
for
FEFSI
workers.
However,
transgender
women
from
the
Pulianthope
are
also
demanding
relief
from
him.
As
per
the
report
published
in
a
leading
portal,
eight
transgender
women
gathered
in
front
of
Rajinikanth's
house,
situated
in
Poes
Garden
area
in
Chennai,
and
conducted
a
protest.
After
seeing
the
mob
outside
the
residence
amid
lockdown,
Rajinikanth's
family
members
were
shocked.
But
to
solve
the
problem,
Rajinikanth's
wife
Latha
handed
over
Rs
5000
to
the
transgenders
through
her
gate.
After
receiving
the
money,
the
protesters
silently
walked
away
from
the
area.
For
those
who
are
unversed,
Rajinikanth
had
earlier
confessed
that
he
would
like
to
play
a
transgender
on
screen.
The
actor
also
danced
along
with
them
in
his
recent
release,
Darbar.
On
a
related
note,
Rajinikanth
will
next
be
seen
playing
the
lead
role
in
his
upcoming
film,
Annaatthe,
which
is
being
written
and
helmed
by
Siva.
The
film
is
bankrolled
by
