| In support of the thousands of students, young professionals and others on a Jallikattu protest at Chennai's Marina beach, Tamil Nadu's top actors will spend an entire working day in silent assembly tomorrow. Among those expected to participate is superstar Rajinikanth, who has spoken in support of lifting a ban on the ancient bull-taming festival of Jallikattu.
The actors will gather in the compound of the film artist association office in Chennai's T Nagar from 8 am.
The city's lawyers and traders say they will also support protest tomorrow to demand that the ban on Jallikattu be removed. Markets may remain closed on Friday and autorickshaws and taxis may go off the roads too, with transport employees expected to announce a strike.
At Marina Beach, thousands of people have gathered in peaceful protest since Tuesday demanding a return of Jallikattu, banned by the Supreme Court in 2014. They have set the state government a deadline of 5 pm today to announce what steps it will take to meet their demands.
