Picture House Media, a production company, on Monday withdrew a case it filed against Shruti Haasan last month for walking out on an upcoming yet-untitled project.
“The case was withdrawn after Tamil Film Producers Council (TPFC) and South Indian Film Artists Association (SIAA) intervened and settled the issue amicably,” read a statement.
“Shruti is very thankful for the intervention of SIAA on the matter as the lawyer sided with her cause due to harassment meted out to her. Thanks to the support of the industry bodies, she has also decided to withdraw the defamation claim against the producers for misrepresentation and revealing misleading facts to the media,” Haasan’s spokesperson said.
The case was registered against Haasan for allegedly reneging on her contractual obligations and pulling out of the Tamil and Telugu bilingual film.
The case seeking a criminal investigation against her was filed by Picture House Media, which alleged that the actor missed her shooting schedules for the film, which is being directed by Vamsi Paidipalli.
Tamannaah Bhatia has replaced Haasan in the project, which also features Akkineni Nagarjuna and Karthi.
Haasan, daughter of actors Kamal Haasan and Sarika, has acted in a number of Tamil, Telugu and Hindi films.
TPFC and SIAA said that artistes should work in tandem with producers and not cause heavy losses to them because of their irresponsible acts.
