PVP withdraws case on Shruti Hassan

Picture House Media Ltd has withdrawn its case against Shruti Hassan after Tamil Film Producers Council and South Indian Film Artists Association intervened. Mr Kalaippuli Thanu, President, Mr T Siva, Secretary of Tamil Film Producers Council and Mr Sarath Kumar, President of South Indian Film Artistes Association discussed with Picture House Media Ltd and suggested a way forward to settle the contentious issues. As a responsible member of the film fraternity, Picture House Media Ltd heeded the advice of these industry bodies and decided to withdraw its case against Shruti Hassan.

Though the issue of perjury by Shruti Hassan is pending in the court due to the fact that she denied receiving an advance of Rs 10,00,000/- (rupees ten lakhs only) and for deposing in front of a Notary in Chennai and claiming it to be in Hyderabad, and despite producing adequate evidence to the honorable courts, Picture House Media Ltd has decided to put these issues behind and decided to move forward keeping in mind the cordial relations in the industry and to ensure that the clout of Council and Association is respected.
