Professional rivalry has made actor Vadivelu to hurl baseless charges and allegations including murder threat and a cheating case against me, film comedian Singamuthu said today.
Vadivelu had accused his (former) friend and one-time associate Singamuthu, who used to appear with him in comedy tracks, of cheating him of several crores of rupees by forging property documents and threatening him with dire consequences recently.
Vadivelu personally lodged a complaint with Chennai police Commissioner T Rajendran seeking action against Singamuthu and others who had allegedly cheated him in connection with the purchase of land.
Singamuthu, who sought anticipatory bail fearing arrest in the case, gave an interview to a Tamil weekly, apparently as a riposte to Vadivelu’s allegations. In turn, Vadivelu sent a legal notice to Singamuthu seeking Rs 25 crore as compensation to the damage caused to his reputation.
Following orders from the Madras High Court, Singamuthu appeared in a court at Saidapet and obtained anticipatory bail. He was interrogated for two hours by Central Crime Branch sub inspector.
Emerging out of the court. Singamuthu said, ‘I have approached the court in the wake of wild allegations made against me by Vadivelu.
‘Fearing arrest following Vadivelu’s complaint, I went into hiding. Today I have appeared before the police and gave explanation to the charges against me and obtained anticipatory bail’.
Denying allegations that he cheated Vadivelu, Singamuthu said, ‘he (Vadivelu) has made charges against me due to professional rivalry. I will fight for justice and emerge victorious’.
‘I am a comedian and if a producer casts Vadivelu and me in a film, I don’t mind sharing the screen with him,’ he added.
Meanwhile, in a case relating to the attack on actor Jayaram’s house, film director and founder of Naam Thamizhar organisation, Seeman appeared before a court in Poonamallee.
Cases were filed against Seeman and 11 others for the attack on Jayaram’s house some days ago. He filed a petition seeking anticipatory bail in the High Court. Following court directions, he appeared at a court in Poonamallee and furnished a personal surety for Rs 25,000 and obtained bail.
