The Election Commission is intensifying checking ahead of the Tamil Nadu assembly elections. Meanwhile, a video of officials seizing a large amount of cash from Tamil actor Arjun Das' car has gone viral. The video hints that the actor was caught during a check conducted by the flying squad at Mangalapuram in Chennai. The video shows the officials seizing the money and an argument with the actor.
Amidst the inspection, the dicky of the car was opened and bundles of currencies were found stuffed in multiple bags. There were four people in the car, including music director Sean Roldan. When Sean Roldan tries to explain the situation, the officers ask him if he doesn't know that one shouldn't carry so much money during the election season. The video also shows the superior telling his colleague, who tries to say that the people in the car are actors, to leave it after checking even if he is the chief minister. When asked about the incident to the person sitting in the back seat, he replies that he got a lift. They are also seen trying to avoid getting their faces caught on camera in the video.
However, at the end of the video, something unexpected happens. Arjun Das says that he has not been arrested by the police and that this is just an awareness video. Arjun Das said that the scenes were shot as part of the promo shoot of his new film 'Con City'.
' This is not real money, but dummy notes used for the film. During the election, you should fully cooperate with the officials when they check your vehicles. Do not carry more than Rs 50,000 in cash. This will lead to legal problems and waste of time. Everyone should exercise their right to vote on April 23. This is a promo video shoot. My director Harish said that we can shoot this as an awareness video. That is how this video was shot. Tomorrow, the first single of our film 'Con City', Korean Family, is being released. Everyone should enjoy the song,' said Arjun Das in the video.
