Simbu who has been protesting against the ban on Jallikattu in front of his house opened up to a few questions in a press interaction.
1. How do you see the upheaval of the film fraternity in this issue? Do you feel it is delayed?
This is my personal protest. I am born in this land and I would continue to protest for my rights.
2. So, till a solution is reached, your protest will continue?
Yes, if a solution does not come in, it means that it has not reached the right place. At that instance, I will think of the next line of action.
3. Protestors have asked politicians and film artists to keep away. Your take?
Yes, they are right. Why should film people go for their problems? I am not here as a film guy. We (Tamilians) have always been sidelined and I am here just to show that we can also rise up. I am not bothered about cinema. There is no need for cinema people in this protest. Let them (the protestors) do what they are doing.
