In the midst of serious allegations by Tamil actor Jayam Ravi (Ravi Mohan), producer Sujatha Vijayakumar has stepped forward to defend herself, adding a new dimension to the ongoing ₹100 crore controversy. The veteran producer and mother of Ravi’s ex-wife Aarti, issued a heartfelt statement addressing the claims that have now forced her to speak publicly after 25 years.
Sujatha Vijayakumar denied accusations of being a “tormentor” or “gold digger,” firmly stating that she never misused Ravi’s name for financial gain. She revealed that she had signed numerous documents—some even blank—solely to protect his reputation and keep his name out of any controversy.
According to Sujatha, she had to borrow close to ₹100 crore to produce three films starring Jayam Ravi: Adangamaru, Bhoomi, and Siren. She also clarified that nearly 25% of the total production budget went toward Ravi’s remuneration and taxes. Her statement has left fans stunned, as the controversy takes an unexpected turn with the involvement of the ex-wife’s mother.
