Accordingly a group of producers, headed by actor and politician S Ve Shekher, filed a complaint against actor Vishal on Thursday for alleged fund misappropriation from the Tamil Film Producers’ Council (TFPC). Meanwhile Vishal, who is the president of TFPC, has been accused similarly by the group on several previous occasions as well.
Furthermore a complaint signed by around 15 producers has been handed over to the Commissioner of Police in Chennai. Accordingly in the complaint, the producers claimed that Vishal had sent a letter to all TFPC members stating that he has spent Rs 8.75 cr so far on the upcoming Ilaiyaraaja 75 event. Meanwhile producer JSK Satish had sought an interim stay on the Ilaiyaraaja event citing financial irregularities within the Council. Further in an interview Satish said, “In 2009, when Rama Narayanan was the president, the Council had a deposit fund of Rs 3.5 crore and during Thanu’s period, there was Rs 7.5 crore. But after Vishal took over, the general body meeting did not happen and we are blind about the fund.”
Moreover Vishal, who inaugurated the TFPC-Microplex Mastering Unit in Chennai, answered questions related to JSK Satish’s petition. “I have always respected the court. They will find that nothing wrong has been done.” Apparently allegations regarding lack of transparency and fund misappropriation have been levied on Vishal time and again by a group of producers.
