Director Saran who directed Padmasri Kamal Hassan for Vasool Raja MBBS has lodged a complaint against the actor in the Producers’ Council.According to the director, after the success of Vasool Raja, he had signed up Kamal Hassan for another film that he was planning to direct and produce. Hence, he had given Rs. 2 crores and the distribution rights for selected areas as an advance payment to the actor.

The director later signed an agreement with Ayngaran International offering them the production and staying on the project as a director. This decision, he says, was because his earlier production venture Muni had resulted in a financial setback.

However, Kamal Hassan was against the transfer of production and wanted to quit the project. He also offered to give back the Rs. 2 crores that he had received as advance with interest. But the actor has not returned the advance yet as promised.

Hence, the director has lodged a complaint in the Producers Council requesting them to order the actor to act in his film.
