We are a collective of investors who lost money to Balaji Subbu, Deepa Iyer and Vivek Ravichandran. We documented everything. We are naming them. We are building the case.
We came together because what happened to us was not an accident. It was a deliberate scheme. When we compared notes, the full scale of it became impossible to ignore.
Each of us was approached individually. Each of us was told our money was safe. Each of us invested based on explicit promises — and was left with nothing. When we sought answers, we were ignored, deflected, or threatened.
We built this site because Balaji Subbu, Deepa Iyer and Vivek Ravichandran should not be able to do this to anyone else. We are documenting every case, pooling every piece of evidence, and actively assembling a formal criminal complaint.
Do not enter into any financial arrangement with Balaji Subbu, Vivek Ravichandran, Deepa Iyer, Hamsini Entertainment Ltd or Devi Pictures. If you have already invested, preserve every record immediately and contact a solicitor. Do not wait.
This was not bad luck or poor commercial decisions. It was a structured, repeating operation designed to extract money before a single film had ever screened.
These are individuals who made deliberate, calculated decisions that destroyed people's finances and lives.
Hamsini Entertainment’s own official social media publicly praised Deepa Iyer as an essential collaborator — while investors were losing their money.
This is Hamsini Entertainment publicly confirming, in their own words, that Deepa Iyer was a central, ongoing collaborator — at the exact same time investors were receiving nothing back.
Public records at UK Companies House confirm that Hamsini entered into a secured charge with Bluestar Global Capital Limited in August 2025. Prior to Hamsini, Balaji Subbu held a directorship alongside Dominic Prabhu — connected to a Scottish Government IT programme subject to a BBC investigation whose costs rose from $130 million to $226 million.
They made money with my money, paid themselves, told me the film lost — and left me with nothing. That is not a bad investment. That is theft.

Over 20 victims documented. Investigators believe the true number is significantly higher.
Among the documented cases: one investor committed approximately $380,000 — their entire life savings — and has received nothing. A second sold their family home to raise $510,000. A third invested $450,000 across three film deals, all reported as losses despite independent confirmation that at least one performed well at the North American box office.
Deepa Iyer introduced me to this. She gave me every assurance it was safe. She is as responsible as anyone else for what happened to me.
— Investor, name withheld at request
Independently verified through direct message screenshots, bank transfer receipts and signed investment agreements. All identities withheld at each individual’s request.
Three steps. None of them are hard. All of them matter.
A formal caution to all Tamil film production companies and studios: we strongly urge thorough due diligence before entering any distribution arrangement with Hamsini Entertainment or any entity connected to Balaji Subbu. Full documented evidence is available upon request. Contact us here.
Every account matters. Submit yours and it will be reviewed directly as part of the formal criminal complaint in progress.
