Tamil actor T.R. Silambarasan on Tuesday, September 19, 2023 claimed he was entitled to not return an advance of ₹1 crore paid to him by Vels Film International since the movie Corona Kumar was not shot within one year from July 16, 2021 when the artist agreement was signed by him to play the protagonist.
The actor has filed a counter-affidavit to a case filed against him by the production company before the Madras High Court and urged the court to vacate an ex-parte interim order passed by it on August 29, 2023 directing him to furnish security for a sum of ₹1 crore or end up suffering further orders.
