"He (Nigam) took Rs 30 lakh from me for my film "Veyil" and later asked for another Rs 10 lakh.

However, the actor has violated the agreement for a role in another film."I have already raised the issue with the Producers Association.

He added that he has already spent Rs 4.75 crore on his project.Trouble broke out after Nigam's video went viral.
