The Madras High Court has ordered that the remuneration of ₹2.60 crore, to be paid by media company Stone Bench Creations Private Limited, to actor Vishal for his yet-to-be-titled movie, temporarily called ‘Vishal 34’, be paid to the credit a 2021 civil suit filed by production house Lyca Productions, to realise dues of over ₹30 crore from the actor.
Justice P.T. Asha also directed the actor to produce, by September 19 2023, the statements of all bank accounts held by him either in his name or in the name of concerns in which he had an interest. The statements should reflect the transactions that had taken place from January 1, 2021 to September 13, 2023, she said.
