Rajinikanth lauds film on organ donation

Chennai, April 7 (IANS) Superstar Rajinikanth has appreciated the team behind the recently released Tamil thriller-drama "Chennaiyil Oru Naal" (CON) for highlighting the importance of organ donation through the movie.

"We don't realise the importance of our body parts after death. Instead of wasting these parts, if we choose to donate them, then it might very likely save a life. I congratulate the team of CON for making a responsible film on the importance of organ donation," said Rajinikanth in a statement.

The film, remake of Malayalam hit film "Traffic", was inspired by a real-life incident. The story revolves around how the heart of a donor is transported to save a life within 90 minutes.

It was directed by debutant Shaheed Khader.

The film featured an ensemble cast of R. Sarath Kumar, Radikaa Sarath Kumar, Prasanna Venkatesan, Parvathi Menon, Iniya, Jayaprakash, Lakshmy Ramakrishnan, Mano Bala, Santhana Bharati and Suriya.

Talks are on to remake the film in Kannada and Hindi as well.
