Veteran producer M Muthuraman has lodged a police complaint against Sundar C over non-payment of royalty dues. Muthuraman has alleged that Sundar C’s latest offering Aranmanai, one of the successful films at the box-office this year, was based on his film Aayiram Janmangal which had Rajinikanth in the lead role. Muthuraman, in his complaint, added that he was planning to make the film in Hindi and Telugu but he had to drop the plan since Aranmanai hit screens before that.
Apparently, Sundar C had promised to pay fifty lakhs to Muthuraman to refrain him from resorting any legal measures before the film’s release. It is also said that Sundar C agreed to share the film’s profits in Telugu and Kannada releases. Now, Muthuraman has filed a complaint with the police since the promised amount has not been paid by Sundar C yet.
