Actor Trisha Krishnan targeted by Jallikattu supporters for supporting PETA

Trisha was shooting at Nemathanpatti near Karaikudi for Tamil thriller Garjanai, which is a remake of Bollywood film NH10 that starred Anushka Sharma. As reported by The Hindu, the police said, after learning that a group of youth, including volunteers from Naam Tamizhar Katchi, had held up shooting on Friday, Trisha, who was staying at the MAM Bungalow on the outskirts of the town, had to pack up and leave for Madurai.

Clearing her stance on the Jallikattu, Trisha said, “I have never spoken against Jallikattu at any given point.” In strong words, she criticised the protesters on her Twitter handle, “Disrespecting a woman and her family is Tamil culture? You should be ashamed to call yourself a Tamilian or even speak about Tamil culture.”
