Chennai: Noted producer Gnanavelraja has filed a complaint with Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) against Kamal Haasan alleging that the actor-politician cheated him of Rs 10 crore.
Sources say that Gnanavelraja has alleged that when there was trouble over Uthamavillain‘s release, a few years ago, Kamal Haasan had sought his help to ensure a smooth release and promised to do a film for him and took advance of Rs 10 crore to settle financial dues that posed a hurdle to the film’s release. However he has not taken any initiative to do a project with his production house, Gnanvelraja has said.
However, those close to Kamal Haasan denied the charge as baseless. UthamavillainĀ Ā was produced by filmmaker N Lingusamy and Kamal Haasan was just an actor in it. Blaming him of taking advance amount from Gnanavelraja was baseless. They even questioned why Kamal Haasan when Lingusamy is there.
