After the debacle of Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan, Simbu is back with Mani Ratnam's Chekka Chivantha Vaanam. In the film, he plays Ethi aka Ethiraj, a weapon and arms dealer in Serbia. His performance has been appreciated by critics and the audience alike.

Chekka Chivantha Vaanam released on September 27 and the makers had arranged early-morning shows for fans.

One of Simbu's fans took his fandom to different level altogether. He hooked himself to a crane to pour milk on Simbu's poster on the day of the film's release.

The fan was literally hanging from the crane for over five minutes, as others cheered him on. It looks like the man hails from Vellore and the video of him celebrating Simbu has gone viral on social-media platforms.

Here's the video:

Fans of A-list actors routinely indulge in nasty fan-wars on Twitter and Facebook. They also do 'paal abhishekam' (pouring milk) on massive cutouts of their stars in front of theatres during a film release.

But this time, looks like Simbu's fan took it a little too far by getting himself hooked to a crane.

Simbu is yet to issue a statement regarding his fan's behaviour.

After Chekka Chivantha Vaanam, Simbu will be seen in Sundar C's upcoming film alongside Megha Akash and Catherine Tresa. This film is said to be a Tamil remake of Telugu superhit film Attarintiki Daredi.
