V Selvakumar, a social activist from Chennai has filed a complaint on Ilayathalapathy Vijay's forthcoming 'Thupaki', way to the posters featuring the star smoking a cigar.
"Recently Chennai was full of wall posters from Thupaki, that have been extensively utilized in print media. The posters have Vijay smoking a cigar. Regardless of Ministry Of Health, Government of India banning any display of smoking, this poster was pasted everywhere and used as ads", says Selvakumar.
"In regard to the above mentioned violation of the Indian Tobacco Act, I'VE filed a complaint on 04th May 2012 with The Commissioner of Police, requesting to take necessary action against the violators", he further adds.
However this isn't the primary time a lead actor has posed with a cigar for a movie poster, remember Ajith's 'Aasal' posters and Simbu's 'Vettai Mannan' posters? Only about two weeks back Shahrukh Khan was in news for smoking in public.
