Vadivelu, who was last seen in Eli, is in trouble again! Sathish Kumar, the producer Eli starring Vadivelu and Sadha, has lodged a complaint against the actor with the Chennai city Police Commissioner, for fraud and threatning. As per Sathish's complaint, it was Vadivelu who forced him to produce the film by giving fake promises. But the film failed in the box-office, which affected Sathish financially. It may be noted that Eli was made for a whopping sum of rupees 12 crores.

Though a popular Tamil television channel came forward to acquire the satellite rights of the film for rupees 10 crore, Vadivelu interfered and threatened to stop the deal claiming that other channels will come forward to purchase the rights for a better price. The producer also added that he had lost all his earnings and requested the Commissioner to take immediate action.
