CHENNAI: A video of producer VA Durai, who has produced several superhit films in Tamil, is suffering without money even for treatment, went viral the other day. VA Durai, who owns a film production company called Evergreen International, is in dire straits due to financial losses from films. Now actor Surya has come forward with financial help to Durai.
Durai’s living conditions deteriorated and his livelihood was greatly affected. He has lost his bed and is now staying at his friend’s house in Saligram. He also has a fatal wound on his leg. Durai’s condition was shared by one of his friends through social media. Seeing this, Surya came up with financial support.
Surya paid two lakh rupees for his treatment. Suriya and Vikram starrer ‘Pithamakan’ was produced by Durai. Suriya’s performance in the blockbuster movie also garnered a lot of attention.
After the success of Pithamakan, director Bala had been given Rs 25 lakh as an advance by Durai to make a new film. But that film did not happen. Bala did not return the amount purchased as advance. In 2022, it was news that Durai went to Bala’s office and protested demanding the money back. He has produced many films like ‘Ennamma Kann’, ‘Loot’, ‘Gajendra’, ‘Naikkutty’.
