The suspension on actor-producer Vishal by the Tamil Film Producers Council has been revoked.
This comes after the actor approached the Madras High Court, seeking an explanation as to why his membership was not restored in spite of his tending an apology to the Council.
A few days ago, Justice Kalyana Sundaram dismissed a petition filed by Vishal against his suspension from the council. An appeal against the order was filed by Vishal, which came up for hearing before Chief Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice M Sundar.
The counsel for Vishal explained that they had submitted an apology from the actor-producer. He said Vishal expressed regret to his words that had caused displeasure to a few.
The Chief Justice asked the counsel of Tamil Film Producers Council ‘what is wrong in making statements against an association. Is it not freedom of expression? If they have to be dismissed, what action should be taken against those in State Assembly and High Courts’.
Urging Producers Council to revoke suspension of Vishal, the Court issued a notice and adjourned the case.
