Indian labourers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) can watch Rajnikanth's latest blockbuster "Sivaji: The Boss" for free thanks to an NGO run by Indian expatriates here. The Rajni World Welfare Trust (R2WT), comprising 40 non-resident Indians (NRIs) in the UAE, is raising money for the purpose. The tickets, according to the organisation, will be given for Thursday night and Friday matinee shows during the next three weeks.
"There are many hard-working labourers in Dubai who wish to watch the movie but cannot afford it. That is why we decided to buy tickets for them. Our trust members know many labourers and they are giving the tickers to them for free," Narayana Kannan, a trustee of R2WT said.
While around 50 per cent of the amount, dirham 1,500 (about $400), will come from the trust, members are encouraging friends to donate the rest of the amount, the Khaleej Times reported.
"We are asking our friends to chip in by putting in small amounts like dirham 10 or dirham 20 depending on how much they would like to donate
