Prakash Raj May Face Contempt Of Court For Non Payment Of Dues In The Tadka Case!

Prakash Raj was all set to make his Bollywood directorial debut with a film called Tadka. Announced back in 2016, the film had Ali Fazal and Taapsee Pannu in the lead. However, more than three years have passed and the film has not yet released. A few weeks back, Ali Fazal had complained that the teaser of a song, featuring Taapsee, was released without his knowledge.

But that is not the only problem the film had. Back in February, the Essel Group of Companies had complained of some discrepancies from Prakash Raj's side in signing an agreement and there had been intellectual rights violation. Because of this, Prakash Raj had to pay close to 5 crores to the Essel Group.

And now, the actor turned director might face contempt of Court. According to a report by Mumbai Mirror, Raj has asked for more time and has paid 2 crores in cheque. The court has said that if this cheque bounces, he will held accountable for ' aggravated contempt of court's since he has been made aware of his actions.

Further hearing will take place on 30th August to ensure that the cheque has been cleared.

Tadka was the official Hindi remake of the Malayalam film Salt n Pepper.
