The Annual General Body meeting of the Tamil Nadu Film Producers Council was conducted on December 10. The meeting led to a lot of problems with Vishal reported being not on good terms with the council members.
After the meeting, Cheran addressed the press saying, “This issue is something to be concerned with the Producers Council. Unlike Vishal, I don’t find the need to share anything with the media. Secondly, Vishal walked-out of the meeting without paying heed to the members who voted for him. I thought he was the ‘Puratchi Thalapathy,’ but I saw him running away because he was afraid. I do not want to speak anything else about him.”
This statement of Cheran was vehemently opposed by Vishal’s team who said that everything in the meeting happened as per law and there was no violation.
Following the major commotion that took place at the annual general body meeting of the Tamil Film Producers Council yesterday, actor Vishal came out and interacted with the press and addressed all the concerns raised against him. His speech follows:
"We have completed the annual general body meeting of the Tamil Film Producer Council. I don't know if it is their grudge against me, but some people were a hindrance to the good things that should have happened. They unnecessarily grabbed the mike, cut off its wire and came to beat us up. Everbody has the right to register their opinions, but there is a way to do it. I thank the police for backing us up. Since everything happened in front of the judge, we have enough evidence to show what took place. Although, we could have avoided this. But I can still assure you that going forward; good things will come by for the producers."
When asked about the accusation placed against Vishal by TR and others, about the Rs 7 crore scam, this is what he had to say. "After scamming for Rs 7 crore, we cannot be courageous enough to hold a general body meeting like this. Every single time, they are only telling in front of the press that corruption has taken place, but they are not coming forward with proof and raising their queries with us. If they bring some evidence, we will definitely answer."
