Actor Dhruv Vikram Faces Film Chamber's Intervention

The South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce (SIFCC) is now involved in resolving a stalled film project starring Dhruv Vikram, produced by Neeladhri Productions. The trade body has instructed the actor to finalize his existing commitment before undertaking any new film ventures. The dispute centers on a Telugu-Tamil film, tentatively titled 'DV4,' launched in August 2025, for which producers claim they paid a Rs 1 crore advance and invested approximately Rs 20 crore in pre-production.

Reports indicate the project halted after Dhruv Vikram reportedly ceased participation, citing health reasons without formal notification or providing new shooting dates. Following a complaint, the SIFCC Conciliation Committee convened on July 30, 2026. Although producers attended, the actor was reportedly absent. The Chamber has since communicated with Mythri Movie Makers, requesting they postpone any new projects with Dhruv Vikram until this issue is settled.

Further directives from the SIFCC include prohibiting promotional material for the actor's new projects and cautioning against legal action if an agreement isn't reached. Concerns have also been raised about the working title 'DV4,' suggesting new films be designated 'DV5' to protect the original producers' rights. A subsequent conciliation meeting is scheduled for August 10, 2026, where Dhruv Vikram's personal appearance is preferred.
