Raids on Director Bala?

The national award winning director Bala is always open to challenging subjects and realistic characterizations through his films. Now he is all set to stun the audience with another realistic subject Thaarai Thapattai based on folk artists in Madurai.

But sadly, the director is faced with last minute tensions in the form of Income Tax raids. Apparently the Income Tax officials got a tab that the director hasn’t been paying taxes as per the rules and hence the raids. The director is in lot of tension with this sudden incident happening just before the film’s release.

Thaarai Tapattai is incidentally Maestro Ilaiyaraaja’s 1000th feature film and the trailer has already created much needed buzz. Let us hope Bala clears off these last minute tensions with IT department!
