Prithviraj Sukumaran, the talented actor-turned-director, has received a notice from the IT department seeking clarification on his fees for recent movies. This development comes as a surprise, given the immense success of his recent film L2: Empuraan, which continues to perform well at the box office and has received global acclaim.
The notice, as per officials, is not related to Empuraan, but rather a follow-up to a notice sent to the actor in 2022. According to reports, the IT department is seeking clarification on Prithviraj's remuneration for three films - Kaduva, Janaganamana, and Gold.
The IT department's notice has sparked curiosity among fans and industry insiders, with many wondering what this development means for Prithviraj's future projects. The department is reportedly investigating the flow of funds into Prithviraj's production company, with officials claiming that the actor earned around ₹40 crore as a co-producer for the aforementioned films.
Despite the controversy surrounding Empuraan, the film has made history as the first-ever Malayalam film to achieve a massive Rs. 100 crore theatrical share worldwide. The film's worldwide gross box office collection has already close to the Rs. 250 crore mark.
The makers have already announced a third installment titled L3: The Beginning, which is set to continue the thrilling saga. With the success of L2: Empuraan, Prithviraj has solidified his position as a talented actor and director.
