Suriya cutout. (@SFBENGALORE/Twitter)
Municipal authorities in Tiruttani, Tamil Nadu on Wednesday (29 May) took down a massive 215-feet cutout of popular Tamil actor Suriya, whose fans had put up the figure on an iron scaffolding ahead of the release of his film NGK, reports The Hindu.
The cutout depicted Suriya dressed in a shirt and a dhoti, while carrying a torch. Although the figure had been erected on private property which was rented, it had to be removed as there is a ban on such cutouts.
It is believed that the actor’s Tiruttani fans spent more than Rs 6 lakh to put up the figure of Suriya at Tiruttani bypass road. They also employed laboureres brought in from a number of states for the work to be completed on time before the release of NGK.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
