Renowned Tamil film producer V A Durai, who has known for producing few successful films in Tamil cinema, including Bala's Pithamagan is seeking help for his medical treatment. Durai has been suffering from a severe leg injury and his friend posted a video requesting help for the producer, who is in dire need of assistance. In a generous gesture, actor Suriya has come forward to support his 'Pithamagan' producer and reportedly handed him a cash amount of Rs 2 lakh for his initial treatment.

Durai, the founder of Evergreen Movie International production house, has produced several films of top Tamil actors such as Vikram, Suriya, Vijayakanth, Sathyaraj, among others. His filmography includes notable hits such as 'Ennama Kannu', 'Lootu', 'Pithamagan', 'Gajendra', and 'Naaikutti'.

In addition to his career in production, Durai has also worked as an assistant director to director SP Muthuraman and a production executive for several leading actors' films, including Rajinikanth's 'Baba'.The production house joined forces with director Sakthi Chidambaram and actor Sathyaraj on numerous projects in the early 2000s.

It is pertinent to note that back in years, the making of Bala's Pithamagan resulted in significant financial difficulties for his production house. To make matters worse, director Bala, who promised to direct a film for Durai after the setback, did not deliver on his promise despite taking an advance of Rs 10 lakh and a total of Rs 25 lakh from the producer. This put Durai in a dire financial situation, and he protested in front of Bala's office before being pulled away by his assistants. The incident caused quite a stir then in the film industry, with many individuals condemned Bala's ways.

Now with no one to take care of him, he has been forced to take refuge in his friend's house located in Saligramam. However in this difficult time, Suriya's generous act of supporting Durai's medical treatment has come as a ray of hope for the producer and his family. It is hoped that more people in the industry will come forward to extend their support to Durai and help him during this tough phase of his life.
