Vishal files appeal against order to deposit his remuneration for ‘Rathnam’ in court

Actor Vishal has filed an original side appeal before a Division Bench of the Madras High Court challenging a single judge’s September 12, 2023 order directing Stone Bench Films, producers of his upcoming movie Rathnam, to deposit his balance remuneration of ₹2.6 crore to the credit of a civil suit filed against him by Lyca Productions.

The appeal has been listed before the Division Bench of Justices R. Subramanian and R. Sakthivel today morning. It has been filed against the order passed by Justice P.T. Asha who had found that Stone Bench Films had engaged the actor for a total remuneration of ₹8 crore for Rathnam, written and directed by Hari, but had already paid ₹5.4 crore to him.
