Arya's film faces controversy for not paying junior artists on time

Arya, one of the leading stars in Tamil cinema, has delivered several blockbusters, solidifying his position in the industry. His upcoming projects include 'Mr. X, Sarpatta 2', and an untitled film with director Jiyen Krishnakumar. Currently, Arya is filming for the untitled movie, with the shoot taking place in Madurai for over a month. Recently, a festival scene depicting the traditional customs of a village in Madurai was filmed, involving over 100 junior artists.

Surprisingly, the junior artists who participated in the shoot were not paid for their work. They approached the media, seeking their dues, and a group of them filed a police complaint against the concerned individuals. In response, the police took action, and the group of junior artists who lodged the complaint received their payment to resolve the issue. However, it remains unclear if all the artists involved have been compensated. This incident has brought controversy to Arya’s film with Jiyen Krishnakumar even before its official title launch.

The film is reported to be a rural entertainer and will be a multilingual project, with plans to release it in Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, and Kannada. Details about the full cast and crew are yet to be revealed. Meanwhile, Arya’s next release will be Mr. X, directed by Manu Anand, which is currently in the post-production stage.
