In
a
bid
to
protect
the
historical
places,
the
Tamil
Nadu
government
has
banned
the
shooting
of
films
at
the
cultural
monuments
of
the
state.
It
has
prohibited
the
filming
in
more
than
85
iconic
landmarks,
including
Thirumalai
Naicker
Mahal.
The
Govt
decided
to
enforce
the
law
after
it
received
a
complaint
from
the
archaeological
commissioner
that
giving
permission
to
shoots
at
the
invaluable
masterpieces
have
resulted
in
at
the
damage
of
most
of
the
cultural
monuments.
He
alleged
that
the
people,
who
shoot
films
in
these
locations,
are
not
maintaining
cleanness
and
their
presence
is
disturbing
the
tourists.
In
his
letter
to
the
TN
Govt,
the
archaeological
commissioner
had
also
sought
immediate
action
from
the
governing
bodies.
Agreeing
his
views,
tourism
secretary
VK
Jayakodi
implemented
the
new
law
by
permanently
banning
the
shoots
in
the
protected
monuments.
