Tony Jaaa could be sued for filming the 7th Fast and the Furious

On September 3rd, another press conference was held, the main topic of which was possible filming Tony Jaaa in a Hollywood blockbuster Fast & Furious 7. Over the past week, the actor has not personally met with the head of the film company. Sahamongkol Film International, and this time Somsaka Techaratanapraserta accompanied at the meeting with journalists Prachya Pinkayu и Panna Rittikrai.

As it turned out, in the contract with Tony Jaaa, among other things, his participation in foreign projects is also stipulated.

Somsak Techaratanaprasert: If he wants to star in Fast and Furious 7, the film's producers must first get approval from Sahamongkol Film International.

It turns out that after the previous press conference Tony Jaaa sent an official notice stating that he no longer belonged to "Sahamongkol" and reserves the right to work on any film project he chooses. Jaa also demanded that "Sahamongkol" I did not use his screen image in advertising without his permission "Tom Yum Goong 2".

Somsak Techaratanaprasert: He said that his decision to go to Hollywood does not concern me. But I have brought you all together to explain why I have changed my position in this situation.

Techaratanaprasert, after such a not very pleasant surprise from the leading actor, was clearly hurt. He, in turn, sent notices to other studios that until he gives the go-ahead, they have no right to use the services Jaa.

Somsak Techaratanaprasert: If Tony Jaaa does not get my consent and, despite everything, appears in a foreign film, then he will undoubtedly have to face legal action.

Panna Rittikrai, teacher Jaa, noted that the contract with Tony was extended in mid-July. He came with his wife and child and asked if he could take part in working on some advertising project. Rittikrai during all this fuss I tried to call him, but Jaa didn't answer calls.

Not a word was said about the film at the press conference. "A Man Will Rise", still in production. Company "Sahamongkol" invested about 150 million Thai baht in the film, but, apparently, Jaa moved away from the project, and there was no work on it for the last two months. Director assistant Vitidnan Rodjanapanich ready to finish filming the film, but lack of Tony Jaaa greatly complicated the situation.

    Well, that's it, Tony went to Atlanta today to film the new Fast and the Furious.

    Michael Selby, Tony Jaaa's manager, said that Tony did not renew his contract with Sahamongkol and did not sign a new contract.

    It seems to me that there is something here that we do not know about. For sure. Remember, Jaa practically had a contract in hand with Sammo and Donnie, but... it didn’t work out. There's something fishy here.

    I also don’t understand why he extended the contract. And the advertising project is most likely videos for that same kennel.

    Ha, Thais are so Thai, something like “Mom, I’ll go for a walk, okay?”, and “You didn’t ask my permission, ah-yay-yay.”

    It was high time to get away from these Thai exploiters. Well done Tony. A person has the right to choose, because he has done a lot for the people at the Thai Film Company.

    Yes, but you just have to be smarter about it. And not... renew the contract, again disrupt filming in your homeland and blame it on filming abroad. It’s just... using a similar method, he can close his way to Thailand, because... Serious legal troubles will await him at home.
