Chennai: Singara Vadivelan has lodged a complaint with the police alleging that actor Wimal had cheated him of Rs 1.50 crore in connection with the production of the film.
Singara Vadivelan, 45, of Saligram, Chennai; Image Distributors. He lodged a complaint with the Commissioner of Police yesterday: I have been distributing pictures under the name ‘Marina Pictures’. Actor Wimal made his debut in 2016. Many films like Ishtam, Puli Vaal and Mappillai Singam starring him failed. Thus, the ‘market’ lost. At that time, Wimal said that he was going to produce a film called King Vagaiyara through Ganesan from Tiruppur and would help finance it. I bought it from my friend and producer Gopi for Rs 5 crore.
In this case, on October 13, 2017, Vimal met me. Then, I am going to make a movie called Kalavani-2. This film is directed by Charity. ‘Buy the distribution rights of the film yourself. We will take the picture in a short time. 1.50 crore in advance for the cost of production ‘, he asked; I gave too. But, the film production work has not started. At one point, ‘Kalavani – 2’ is being produced by director Sarguname.
I will pay the money I bought from you before the release of this film. ‘ Not done accordingly. Through my company’s product supervisor, I sued in the Chennai High Court; I also complained to the Producers Guild. After that, Wimal said that he would approach a political celebrity and ‘settle’ the money he owed me. I also agreed and both of us signed the document. Two years after the incident, Wimal swindled me out of the Rs. 1.50 crore he had bought from me.
Thus it is said.
