Latha Rajinikanth, the wife of Rajinikanth, has been granted bail by a Bengaluru court in connection with a criminal case stemming from a dispute related to the 2014 Tamil film Kochadaiiyaan.
The case was filed by Ad Bureau Advertising Pvt Ltd, a Chennai-based company, and it accuses Latha Rajinikanth of cheating regarding the movie’s rights.
In a court appearance on Tuesday, Latha Rajinikanth secured bail by providing a Rs 1-lakh personal bond and Rs 25,000 in cash. As part of the bail conditions, she has been directed not to exert influence on witnesses and to comply with any court orders mandating her presence.
Earlier, on December 1, 2023, the court had specifically instructed Latha Rajinikanth’s presence, deeming the alleged offenses as non-bailable.
Ad Bureau Advertising claims that Latha Rajinikanth, acting as a guarantor, is linked to a Rs 10-crore loan extended to Media One, one of the producers of the film. According to the complaint, Ad Bureau Advertising is yet to receive Rs 6.2 crore of the loan amount.
