Louis Koo’s production firm disputes HK$149m lawsuit, says claim ‘incomplete’

Louis Koo's production company, One Cool Film Production, has challenged a HK$149 million lawsuit alleging unpaid debts to an offshore firm, stating the claim is incomplete and breaches confidentiality rules. In a social media post, the company highlighted that the plaintiff, Sino Hero Ventures, had not disclosed critical information about their dissolved status and inability to contact key personnel for nearly three years.

Koo, a well-known Hong Kong actor with over 110 film credits, was accused of failing to repay a HK$70 million loan and interest by a 2022 deadline, with the total outstanding amount now reported at HK$149.4 million as of August 27.
