Sridevi has reportedly filed a case against the makers of Puli for non-payment of dues. It is learnt that the actress is yet to receive Rs 50 lakh. “Sridevi has filed a complaint with one of the producers' councils in Mumbai against the makers for failing to pay part of her remuneration which was to be given post release of the film,“ reveals a source.

The film, that was made on a mega budget, went on to be a dud. One of the producers of the film Shibu Thameens tweeted, “Will clarify Sridevi mam complaint, postpone my surgery tomorrow and joining my partner pts in Chennai.“(sic)
