The Supreme Court on Tuesday pulled up actor Rajinikanth’s wife Latha Rajinikanth for defying its earlier order asking her to pay Rs 6.2 crore to Ad Bureau, a private company which financed the 2014 film Kochadaiiyaan, PTI reported.

Ad Bureau has alleged that it had lent Media One Global Entertainment, one of the producers of Kochadaiiyaan, Rs 10 crore in April 2014 when the movie was running short of funds during post production. Latha Rajinikanth, the director of the firm, was signed as a guarantor for the loan, and Ad Bureau claimed her company still owed it Rs 6.2 crore.

In February, the top court had ordered Media One Global Entertainment to pay the amount to the private company in 12 weeks. Ad Bureau Advertising Pvt Ltd had also alleged in 2015 that Latha Rajinikanth illegally sold the rights of the movie Kochadaiiyaan to an entertainment company by producing fake documents in court. Her lawyer had given an undertaking to the court that if the company fails to repay in time, Latha Rajinikanth will compensate the company herself.

During the hearing on Tuesday, the counsel appearing for her said that her previous lawyer had wrongly given the undertaking. “We do not like people playing around with the court’s order,” the bench comprising Justices Ranjan Gogoi and R Banumathi said. “The long and short of it is that you [Latha Rajinikanth] have not paid and the law will take its own course...We think you should face the trial. If you are innocent, you will be acquitted.”

When Media One Global Entertainment’s lawyer offered to give a cheque of Rs 10 lakh, the court rejected it. “We don’t want you to pay. We want the lady to pay. It is her undertaking and the period of three months is gone,” the bench said, according to News18.

The bench then posted the matter for further hearing to July 10.
