Income Tax Department's notice to Prithviraj Sukumaran amid 'L2 Empuraan' controversy
Prithviraj Sukumaran News: The Enforcement Directorate recently raided L2 Empuraan producer Gokulam Gopalan. Now the Income Tax Department has issued a notice to Prithviraj Sukumaran.
Actor-director Prithviraj Sukumaran received a notice from the Income Tax Department after the office of L2 Empuraan producer Gokulam Gopalan was raided by the Enforcement Directorate some days back. Reports state that the notice to the actor has requested an explanation regarding income from three 2022 films in which he had worked and co-produced.
According to a report by TNIE, income tax officials said that the notice was generated by the system and sent to Prithviraj via email on March 29. This notice is automatically activated when discrepancies or questions are identified during regular income tax assessment. The actor-director has been asked to provide clarification by April 29.
The Income Tax Department is investigating three films starred and co-produced by Prithviraj in 2022, including 'Jana Gana Mana', 'Gold' and 'Kadavu'. Despite playing lead roles, he allegedly did not claim any acting fees and only charged fees as a co-producer. The Income Tax Department is now seeking clarifications on the structure of his income as part of the standard verification process.
