The South Indian Movies Dummy Effects Association (SIMDEA) has moved the Madras High Court seeking a direction to the police to devise a procedure for hassle-free movement of dummy weapons offered on hire by members of the association for shooting of movies.
The association claimed the police seized two dummy guns from assistant director Victor when he was transporting them to Karaikudi for the shooting of Suriya starrer Etharkkum Thunindavan on August 7. Subsequently, 150 more guns were seized from a godown in Chennai.
