Tamil actor Arya is facing legal trouble after a camera equipment rental company filed a cheating complaint against him at Hyderabad’s Jubilee Hills Police Station. The company has alleged that Arya, producer Vinod and others associated with the production of Ananthan Kaadu failed to pay more than ₹ 1.80 crore in pending dues for camera and lighting equipment used during the film’s shoot.
Company’s Claim: ₹1.80 Crore Outstanding
The complainant said it not only supplied the equipment but also arranged its transportation from Hyderabad to Kerala and extended technical support during the entire filming schedule. After the shoot was completed, however, a large part of the payment allegedly remained unpaid. The company claimed the total bill came to ₹ 2.12 crore, but only a portion of the amount was received, leaving dues of more than ₹ 1.80 crore.
The rental firm further alleged that the producers had admitted to the pending payment in writing and assured them that the outstanding amount would be settled before the film’s theatrical release. Despite several reminders through letters, phone calls and WhatsApp messages, the company claimed that the promised payment never came through.
Police Complaint Filed in Jubilee Hills
The complaint also alleged that when the company’s manager approached the production team seeking the pending dues, Arya, producer Vinod and a personal assistant threatened him. Following the alleged incident and the continued delay in payment, the company approached the Jubilee Hills Police and filed a formal complaint.
The complaint against Tamil actor Arya highlights the financial disputes sometimes plaguing film productions. With police involvement, the case will now proceed to uncover the truth behind the alleged ₹1.80 crore unpaid dues and threats.
