Looks
like
Silambarasan
aka
Simbu
is
having
a
troublesome
time
post
his
comeback
on
the
sets
of
Eeswaran.
The
actor
is
reportedly
in
trouble
for
shooting
a
sequence
with
a
live
snake
for
his
upcoming
film.
In
a
video
that
has
gone
viral
on
social
media,
the
actor
can
be
seen
catching
a
cobra
from
a
tree
and
putting
it
in
a
sack.
The
video
is
said
to
be
taken
from
the
location
sets
of
Eeswaran.
However,
there
is
no
official
confirmation
regarding
the
same.
Reportedly,
an
animal
activist
and
former
performing
animals
sub
committee
member
has
filed
a
case
with
the
Tamil
Nadu
Forest
Department
asking
if
the
makers
had
sought
permission
from
the
Animal
Welfare
Board
of
India
to
shoot
sequences
with
an
Indian
cobra,
which
is
against
the
Wildlife
Protection
Act
of
1972.
As
per
the
act,
snakes
do
not
come
under
performing
animal
category.
It
is
also
reported
that
another
person
has
also
filed
a
complaint
with
the
Animal
Welfare
Board
of
India,
that
says
that
the
snake
in
the
video
might
have
been
defanged,
which
a
clear
case
of
animal
cruelty.
Well,
the
concerned
authority
and
the
makers
of
the
film
are
yet
to
respond
regarding
the
case.
Also,
it
is
not
known
if
the
makers
have
actually
used
a
live
snake,
as
most
of
the
time
a
graphical
representation
is
used
for
the
purpose.
On
a
related
note,
Eeswaran
helmed
by
Suseenthiran
has
Nidhhi
Agerwal
in
the
lead
role.
The
film
backed
by
Madhav
Media,
will
have
a
massive
release
on
Pongal
2021.
Touted
to
be
a
village
drama,
Eeswaran
has
music
composed
by
S
Thaman.
