Chennai: Popular actor Dhanush on Saturday said he endorses the ancient bull taming sport Jallikattu.
Dhanush clarified that he is not associated with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), an animal rights organisation which is against Jallikattu.
The controversial sport is being opposed by animal rights activists.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court declined to permit Jallikattu, in which a bull vaulter is expected to hang on to the bull's hump for a stipulated distance or hold on to the hump for a minimum of three jumps made by the bull. Many young men die or get injured in the process.
