No cash is seized from Vijay's residence: IT Dept

The Income Tax officials have officially made a statement about the raids on Tamil superstar Vijay. The IT department in its statement said that they had raided the offices of Vijay, producer of ‘Bigil’ (Whistle) and distributor-financier. The makers claimed that the film (Whistle/Bigil) collected Rs 300 crore. So, they wanted to know where that money  has   been invested. When producers and stars claim false collections for the sake of records, this is what happens.

No cash has been seized from his premises but the investigation is still undergoing. “In the context of the issues of the prominent Actor, it is stated, that, his investment in immovable properties and remuneration received from the said Producer for acting in the film is the subject matter of investigation in the present search. Searches in some of the premises are continuing,” the statement from the IT department said.

This is an eye-opener for all the Tollywood stars and producers who declare collections with bloated figures and fake numbers. 

Vijay is currently acting in ‘Master’
