PETA apologises to Suriya over Jallikattu row
Animal welfare organisation PETA India has issued a "wholehearted apology" to Tamil actor Suriya as the organisation had earlier called the actor's support for Jallikattu a publicity stunt for promoting his film 'Singam 3'. The organisation added that Suriya plays an honest, dutiful police officer in 'Singam' so he should understand why upholding laws on preventing animal cruelty is important.
When Tamil actor Suriya joined the pro-Jallikattu bandwagon, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) had hit out at him saying that it was "no coincidence that Suriya decided to speak only when his film S3 is about to release." Now, the animal rights organisation has offered a "wholehearted apology" for its statement.ALSO READ: Suriya's Singam 3 not postponed, producer rubbishes rumoursPETA CEO Poorva Joshipura issued an apology letter which said, "We received a copy of the legal notice sent to us through the law firm you engaged.
