As per reports, the makers of Kamal Haasan’s 2015 film Uttama Villain have filed a petition against the actor at the Tamil Nadu Producers Council for not fulfilling his promise of compensating losses.
Kamal Haasan is undoubtedly one of the biggest actors in Indian cinema at present and has continued to entertain audiences for close to six decades. However, in this time period, the actor has also faced his fair share of box office failures, with one of the more recent ones being the 2015 film Uttama Villain.
The film, which had a delayed release, failed to leave its mark at the box office and caused huge losses for the film’s producers, N Lingusamy, and his production banner Thirrupathi Brothers Company. However, Kamal Haasan had then promised to salvage the situation and promised the producers that he would act in a film of their choice to compensate for the losses. In the latest update, Thirrupathi Brothers Company has filed a petition against the Vikram actor at the Tamil Nadu Producers Council accusing him of not acting in a film for the last 9 years.

As per reports by IndiaGlitz Tamil, the makers of Uttama Villain lodged a formal complaint with the Tamil Nadu Producers Council, where they highlighted Kamal Haasan’s promise of featuring in a film under their production as compensation for the losses borne. However, even after 9 years of the film’s release, the promise has not been fulfilled.
The makers then requested the Producers Council to intervene, asking them to negotiate with the actor, and asking him to feature in a film of the producer’s choice.
