Rajinikanth posted a video in support of Janata Curfew, an economic response task force, formed by the Prime Minister of India. It will be observed on Sunday, March 22, 2020 all over India between 7 AM to 9 PM. In that video, Rajini stated that this curfew would help to break the cycle of infection and mentioned that the lifetime of virus was 14 hours. Twitter recognizes this information as fake news as it is not proved yet that the lifetime of coronavirus is just 14 hours which is truly depend on the atmosphere of the virus’ existence. The observation has led the experts to believe that the virus has the possibility to live even for days in certain surfaces. Hence, Twitter takes Rajini’s video down from his profile as it doesn’t have evidences to support his comments. Netizens in twitter goes berserk over this event as Rajini, one of the influential people in the society, has posted a video which has no proven statements to back his comments.
