Goa directed by Venkat Prabhu and
produced by Soundarya Rajinikanth’s
Ocher Studios is in troubled waters.
Soundarya Rajinikanth has borrowed
money from Varun Maniyan, a building
contractor to a tune of Rs 1.60
crore, of which Rs 1.10 crore was
given from office funds and the
remaining Rs 50 lakh was drawn from
his personal funds. The interest
rate is said to be 24 percent.
A promissory note has been signed
by Soundarya Rajinikanth at the
time of taking the loan, but Varun
is not happy with it and wanted
her to sign a loan bond. Though
Soundarya agreed to it initially,
she was dilly dallying the whole
process, He says in his petition
to the court. With the film in its
final stages, gearing up for a Pongal
release, Varun feels that he cannot
collect his money if the film is
released and this has forced the
contractor to file a case against
Ocher Studios.
Now the court has given a stay order
stating that all the film (Goa)
related activities should be stopped
till December 11.
