Income Tax Department Issues Notice to ‘L2’ Producer Perumbavoor: Seeking Clarification on Financial Transactions
The Income Tax department has issued a notice to Antony Perumbavoor, the producer of the recent Malayalam film ‘Empuraan’, seeking clarification on financial transactions related to his bankrolled films ‘Lucifer’ and ‘Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea’. The notice has sent shockwaves in the Malayalam film industry, with many speculating that it could be connected to the controversy surrounding the film ‘L2: Empuraan’.
However, authorities have clarified that the notice is not related to the controversy over ‘L2’. The notice is reportedly related to financial transactions and income tax compliance, and is a regular procedure to ensure that all taxpayers comply with the tax laws.
Antony Perumbavoor is a well-known producer in the Malayalam film industry, having produced several successful films including ‘Lucifer’ and ‘Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea’. ‘Lucifer’, starring Mohanlal in the lead role, was a massive hit, while ‘Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea’ was a historical epic that marked the return of Mohanlal to the big screen after a gap of two years.
Perumbavoor’s production house, Aashirvad Cinemas, has been a major player in the Malayalam film industry for several years, producing a wide range of films including action, comedy, romance, and drama. The company has collaborated with many top directors and actors in the industry, and has a reputation for producing high-quality films.
The notice issued by the Income Tax department is likely to be a routine verification of financial transactions, and is not a reflection on the producer’s reputation or the quality of his films. However, it is likely to send a ripple of concern through the industry, with many producers and filmmakers wondering if they too will receive similar notices.
In related news, Prithviraj Sukumaran, who directed and starred in ‘L2: Empuraan’, has also received an I-T notice. Sukumaran is a well-known actor, director, and producer in the Malayalam film industry, and has been involved in several successful projects over the years.
The controversy surrounding ‘L2: Empuraan’ has been gaining attention in recent weeks, with many questioning the film’s quality and the marketing strategy employed by the producers. The film, which was released last year, received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, with some praising its visuals and action sequences, while others criticized its storyline and character development.
Despite the controversy, ‘L2: Empuraan’ has been a commercial success, with many fans praising the film’s action sequences and visuals. However, the controversy has also led to speculation that the film’s producers may have taken shortcuts to promote the film, including allegedly misrepresenting the film’s plot and marketing it as a supernatural thriller.
The Income Tax department’s notice to Perumbavoor and Sukumaran is likely to be related to these allegations, although authorities have not confirmed whether the notice is connected to the ‘L2′ controversy. The notice is likely to be a routine verification of financial transactions, and is not a reflection on the producers’ reputation or the quality of their films.
In conclusion, the Income Tax department’s notice to Antony Perumbavoor and Prithviraj Sukumaran is likely to be a routine verification of financial transactions, and is not related to the controversy surrounding ‘L2: Empuraan’. The notice is a reminder that even the most successful producers and filmmakers in the industry are subject to tax laws and regulations, and must ensure that they comply with all tax requirements.
