Trouble for Kamal Haasan after producers of Uttama Villain file complaint – India TV
Actor Kamal Haasan is in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The actor has landed in legal trouble as a complaint has been filed against him by the producers of Uttama Villain. Director and producer Lingusamy, along with co-producer Subash Chandra Bose of Thirrupathi Brothers, has filed a complaint with the Producer’s Council against Kamal Haasan over breach of contract.
The trio worked together on the 2015 film ‘Uttama Villain’, which pushed the Thirrupathi Brothers into debt. After the failure of ‘Uttama Villain’, Kamal Haasan promised to do a film with them but hasn’t followed up on it for nine years. After the failure of ‘Uttama Villain, Kamal Haasan promised to compensate by doing another film for the production house with a budget of Rs 30 crore. However, he did not keep up his promise. Subash Chandra Bose has now sought the help of the Producers Association to solve the issue. The complaint was filed on May 3 and the council is currently going through the complaint.
