He
says, “Ameer had initially agreed to release
the first copy of the film under two crores and
seventy five lakhs. Two schedules of the film were
completed by which he had used two crores completely
and had committed to wrap the film in one week but
wanted an additional 3.5 crores. At that juncture,
we decided to manage the finances and asked him
to just mention his remuneration alone. He demanded
an astounding one crore and completed the film in
sixty four days when he had wanted just one week
to finish it”.
When it came to the audio release, Ameer had sought
financial assistance claiming that Paruthiveeran
can be sold well once the audio is released and
the producers have also complied with his request.
Though the movie was sold, Ameer never returned
the money. When the problems had compounded, they
have gone ahead and complained at the producer’s
council. As per the agreement made by Ameer at the
council, he has to submit details of accounts which
he has not done till date. Prakash adds, “Whenever
we tried to contact him, he goes into hiding but
at the same time issues statements saying that we
have not paid him. As he has not returned the money
due to us and at the same time spreading defaming
news about us, we are considering taking legal action
against him.” |
