Kabali stunt directors removed from union

The South Indian Cine & TV Stunt Artistes Union has said that they have removed stunt directors Anbumani and Arivumani from the union, for violation of rules.

In a statement, the union’s president Super Sundharam said, “Anbumani and Arivumani, who have been working as stunt director in the industry, have violated the union rules regarding stunt performances. The two have, under the pretext of rehearsals, been choreographing actors to perform dangerous, rope-based action sequences for films such as Madras and Kabali. This is in violation of the rules of the Union. The union’s governing body has therefore decided to remove them from the basic membership.”

Earlier in September, the brothers were unceremoniously thrown out of the union while later the Madras High Court granted an injunction against the removal of stunt directors.
