Latha Rajinikanth responded to the ongoing cheating case filed against her. Wife of Tamil superstar Rajinikanth, has addressed the case linked to the Tamil film 'Kochadaiiyaan' following her release on bail by a Bengaluru court. Denying the accusations, she stated that such issues are part of the 'price celebrities pay.'

Speaking with ANI, Latha said, "For me, it’s a case of humiliation and harassment and exploitation of a popular person. This is the price we pay for being celebrities. So there may not be a big case, but the news becomes very big. There is no fraudulence. I have nothing to do with the money that is being reported. That is between Media One and the concerned people. They have already settled and the topic is between them. I made sure as a guarantor that they have been paid."

Chennai's Ad Bureau Advertising Pvt Ltd lodged a cheating case against Latha Rajinikanth regarding the rights associated with the 2014 film. Allegedly, the complainant lent Rs 10 crore to Media One, a film producer, and asserts that Latha Rajinikanth acted as a guarantor, prompting the legal action.

In October, the Supreme Court reinstated charges against Latha Rajinikanth in the case. "Accordingly, the SLP(Crl) No. 9818/2022 and SLP(Crl.) No. 8327/2022 is disposed of by restoring the final report filed. However, liberty is granted to the petitioner(s) in SLP(Crl.) No.8327/2022 to file an appropriate application, if so advised, seeking discharge," the court said.

"We make it clear that if such application is filed on behalf of the petitioner(s), the findings rendered under the impugned order will not stand in the way, and the Trial Court is directed," the court said. Adding, "Taking into consideration the further submissions made, the physical presence of the petitioner-accused shall stand dispensed with until and unless the same is required by the Trial Court."

"We further make it clear that we have not expressed any opinions on the merits of the case and it is well open to the parties to resolve the issue, also through mediation," the court added.
