Another case comes to haunt Bala

While things at the Naan Kadavul front seem to be calm, looks like Bala’s worries, however, are far from over. A closed case regarding his earlier movie Pithamagan has been reopened recently suggesting more pains.

The Chennai High Court has dismissed the earlier ruling in the Pithamagan case allowing producer V A Durai to go ahead with the case. Durai had earlier approached the High Court alleging that he incurred losses owing to Pithamagan since Bala exceeded the production budget and that the director should pay him the loss based on the contract signed in this regard. This case was dismissed by the court earlier mentioning that it was too late to raise the issue.

Durai, however, filed an appeal in which he mentioned that as per the contract, Bala still owed him Rs. 90 lakhs. The appeal was admitted by the court and Justices Chokkalingam and Subbaiah dismissed the earlier ruling. They also ordered a special judge to examine the case.
