Madhavan had re-tweeted the video and a tweet by southern actor Suriya Sivakumar on Monday, who asserted that it is high time the safety of the crew is taken seriously.
The incident involved famous southern actor Duniya Vijay, who swam to safety and even had a life jacket, and two others -- identified as Anil and Uday -- who drowned after jumping off the helicopter. They had no safety harness and did not know how to swim either.
