Tamil actor Arya's residence in Chennai was recently searched by Income Tax officials. The searches were conducted due to reports of tax evasion. Arya, who has earned a huge fan following in the Tamil film industry for two decades, claimed that he has no connection with the 'Sea shell' restaurants and had handed over the responsibility of managing them to someone else a few years ago. The officials also conducted searches at 'Sea Shell' restaurants in Anna Nagar and other areas related to Arya.
Arya has many super hit films to his credit and is currently working on a pan-India movie called 'Ananthan Kaadi'. The movie is based on the current political situation and has generated a lot of buzz among fans and audience. The recently released first glimpses of the film have received a good response, and expectations are high. Arya's film career spans over two decades, and he has acted in films related to different genres.
The Income Tax department raided Arya's home and multiple outlets of Sea Shell, a restaurant chain associated with the actor. The searches were carried out at branches in Anna Nagar and Velachery, along with his residence on Poonamallee High Road. Over five IT officials arrived at the Anna Nagar outlet, accompanied by armed police. The raids are part of a probe into the restaurant's financial dealings and ownership.
Arya previously owned the popular Arabian cuisine chain Sea Shell but recently sold it to Kunhi Moosa. The actor, whose real name is Jamshad Cethirakath, is originally from Kerala but rose to fame in the Tamil film industry. The searches at Arya's residence and restaurants have sparked interest among fans and industry insiders, with many waiting to see how the situation unfolds.
