Producer Mathiyazhagan of Etcetera Entertainment has filed a police complaint at the Commissioner Office in Chennai against the Tamil star Atharvaa. In his complaint, the producer has alleged that Atharvaa has cheated him to the tune of Rs 6 crores and sought action against the actor in this regard.
A detailed report about the complaint states that Mathiyazhagan procured the rights of the Tamil film Semma Botha Aagathey from Atharvaa for Rs 5.5 crores but the film did not do well at the box office.
