Complaint filed against Kamal Haasan by ‘Uttama Villain’ producers
Director and producer Lingusamy, along with co-producer Subash Chandra Bose of Thirrupathi Brothers, has filed a complaint with Producer’s Council against Kamal Haasan over breach of contract. The trio worked together on 2015-film ‘Uttama Villain’, which pushed 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.Â
In a statement shared on May 2, Lingusamy explained how Kamal Haasan changed the script multiple times, which caused the film to fail at the box office. He also mentioned that they wanted to remake the Malayalam superhit film, ‘Drishyam’. However, Kamal Haasan refused to do it and then went on to do the film for a different banner in a few weeks.Â
After the failure of ‘Uttama Villain, Kamal Haasan promised to compensate by doing another film for the production house with the 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 council hasn’t responded as of now.Â
‘Uttama Villain’ is a comedy drama written by Kamal Haasan and directed by Ramesh Aravind. It is about an actor who is counting his last days due to his brain tumour diagnosis. He then reaches out to his mentor to direct his last film and solves his personal problems.
The 2015 film features Kamal Haasan, K Viswanath, K Balachander, Jayaram, Andrea Jeremiah, Pooja Kumar, Nassar, Parvathy Thiruvothu and Urvashi, among others in pivotal roles.
