The zoo officials had been making a campaign pitch to encourage people to adopt animals for the past nine years. Sivakarthikeyan signed a letter expressing his ‘wish’ to adopt the 10-year-old Anu for six months. The actor would pay around Rs 2 lakh for this. “I wanted to adopt one of the 174 species of animals housed in the zoo.
