Alleging that producer Dil Raju evaded tax as GST for Vijay-starrer Varisu, Vellalar Munnetra Kazhagam State President Anna Saravanan has urged the Tamil Superstar to ensure that he pays.
“It has come to light that the producer of your film Varisu prepared documents that showed that he had only received a sum of ₹4 crore while the actual rights were sold for a sum of ₹7.5 crore.”
He stated that Vijay must be well aware of the fact that governments could carry out welfare programmes for the poor only through the money paid as taxes by those who make money.
The politician also requested the actor, who was helping people because of his societal concern, to ensure his producers that they paid the correct tax to the government.
Director Prasath Murugesan’s Mathagam (The Forehead of an Elephant), featuring Atharvaa, Manikandan, and Nikhila Vimal, will be streamed on Disney+ Hotstar from 18 August.
