The upcoming release of Chennai’s famous motorbike racer Dilip Roger’s ‘Udumban’ has found a new hurdle with respect to its release date.
A social activist from Chennai has claimed that ‘Udumban’ movie has tortured the endangered Monitor Lizard species (Udumbu in Tamil) and has applied for a stay over the movie’s release.
The summon to the City Civil court also demands the director and producer of the movie to file a responsible reply for it on or before 16th of February, 2012. Summoner P Selvaraj, who resides in Choolaimedu, Chennai, has filed the case in Chennai’s 14th City Civil court and has claimed that the makers have made use of real monitor lizard in the movie.
Udumban, which was scheduled for release on 10th of February, now suffers a delay in the released date due to the hearing on Feb 16th. It is to be noted that Tamil Nadu regional censor board has given a ‘U’ certification for this movie.
On the other hand, producer s.Jeganadhan claims that the crew started the shoot after gaining legal permission from the forestry department and hence the movie will be screened soon.
