Picture House Media Ltd, a leading media and entertainment
house based out of Chennai and Hyderabad has initiated Civil and Criminal
Proceedings against actress Shruti Hassan.
Shruti Hassan after entering into a contractual agreement to
be the female lead in a bilingual starring Nagarjuna and Karthi directed by
Vamsi Paidipalli has reneged on her contractual obligations. She has
arbitrarily pulled out of the project citing dates clash as a flimsy excuse.
The dates were mutually discussed with her and schedules were planned around
her convenience. The said movie has commenced its shoot and first schedule was
completed and unexpectedly Shruti conveyed through an email that she wanted to
exit the project.
This unethical and unprofessional act of Shruti Hassan has
resulted in Picture House Media Ltd incurring financial as well as reputation
loss. Though the financial loss is running into several crores, it is the loss
of time and reputation that is significant because the schedules of all other
artists who have committed their dates will be disrupted.
With an intention of ensuring that such unprofessional
attitude is not repeated and to protect the interests of its various
stakeholders, Picture House Media Ltd has initiated both civil and criminal
proceedings against Shruti Hassan and the Honourable Judge has taken cognisance
of this civil offence and issued an injunction restraining her from signing any
new movie until further orders. For the criminal offence, Police have been
instructed to investigate the matter.
