Actor Simbu is someone who has a lot of fans. A few days back he had requested his fans to not have any special celebration for the First Day First Show of his upcoming film Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven.

Police complaint filed on Simbu after his 'Paal Abhishekam' statement

However, after he was criticised for that statement, he uploaded a video yesterday asking his fans to show their mass by erecting large size cut-outs, and do 'Paal Abhishekam' for the same. This statement had mixed responses online. There were reports floating the internet that the Tamil Nadu Milk Dealers Association has filed a complaint against STR.

When Behindwoods got in touch with Mr. Ponnusamy, the Founder, and the President of the Association, he said: 

"Simbu had released a video yesterday, asking his fans to keep large sized cut outs and celebrate the First Day First Show of Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven in a grand manner. He also asked his fans to do Paal Abhishekam on a large scale. Based on this video, we've filed a complaint at the commissioner's office.

We also want people to stop pouring milk on cut outs because, this is a time when children do not get enough milk. So, pouring milk on lifeless cut-outs is unacceptable. We've been requesting this from 2015, irrespective of the hero. We have nothing against Simbu. But, till date, no actor has asked their fans to pour milk in large amounts on their cut-outs. Only Simbu has done that.

Apart from this, there will be a clash between Simbu's fans and other actors fans. This video will instigate violence among people. Last time Petta and Viswasam released on the same day, and there was violence at a few places. A fan died while doing Paal Abhishekam at one of the theatres. In such a situation, encouraging Paal Abhishekam is wrong.

We must lead the younger generation in the right way. So, we've requested the police to take action against Simbu. Paal Abhishekam for cut-outs should be banned.

Another issue we are facing is that, a lot of milk packets get stolen every night. When a top actor's film releases, the number increases, because the fans do Paal Abhishekam. Normally, when they do Paal Abhishekam with packets, it is tough to control theft. When Simbu says "Anda Anda va pannunga", it only makes the problem worse. We've requested Police Bandobust, high frequency night patrol rounds, and increase protection for our shops.

These are our requests to the police department," concluded Ponnusamy.

Stay tuned for more updates on this issue.
