Sivakarthikeyan Warns Against Fake Casting Scam Using His Banner
Tamil actor and producer Sivakarthikeyan has issued a strong warning to aspiring actors after reports emerged of fraudsters misusing his production banner to scam innocent youth on social media.
According to the actor, several fake accounts and advertisements have been circulating online, falsely claiming auditions, new talent recruitment, and casting calls for upcoming films under his production house. These scams reportedly ask candidates to pay registration fees or “screen test charges” in exchange for acting opportunities.
Reacting to the issue, Sivakarthikeyan’s production team clarified through an official statement that they never charge any fee for auditions or casting. They urged aspiring actors not to trust anyone demanding money via phone calls, emails, or social media messages in the name of the company.
The statement further emphasized that all official announcements regarding casting or projects are made only through verified social media handles, and any other claims should be considered fake. The team also warned that strict legal action will be taken against individuals misusing the production house’s name for fraudulent activities.
Industry sources say that such scams have become increasingly common with the rise of social media, where fake profiles impersonate well-known production houses to target young and inexperienced aspirants dreaming of entering the film industry.
Fans have praised Sivakarthikeyan for stepping forward and addressing the issue publicly, calling it a responsible move from a star who actively supports new talent.
On the professional front, Sivakarthikeyan, who is known for his family-friendly films and strong fan base, continues to focus on upcoming projects after his recent release Parasakthi did not meet box office expectations. Despite that, he remains busy with multiple films in the pipeline.
With this warning, the actor has once again been appreciated for taking a responsible stand, while also creating awareness among aspiring actors to verify opportunities before engaging with any online casting calls.
