Dhruv Vikram Faces Dispute Over Stalled Telugu Film
A Telugu film that started in August 2025 is now stuck.
The producer company, Neeladhri Productions, says the actor Dhruv Vikram stopped the work because he wanted a new director and different lead actress.
They paid him a big advance and built a train set, but the film never finished.
The South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce will meet on August 10, 2026, to try to solve the problem.
Dhruv Vikram has to explain what happened and help the producers decide if the film should be finished or if the producers should get money for their losses.
Neeladhri Productions filed a complaint against Dhruv Vikram over a stalled Telugu‑Tamil film.
The South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce (SIFCC) will hold a conciliation meeting on August 10, 2026, in Chennai.
The dispute arose after Dhruv Vikram requested a director change and casting changes, leading to creative differences.
Producers claim they invested Rs 20 crore and paid a Rs 1 crore advance to the actor before the project halted.
Dhruv Vikram has been asked to appear before the committee and submit a written explanation.
