Oscar-winning Hollywood actor Tom Hanks is suing production company Gold Circle Films for failing to pay him his share of the profits from the hit film "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".

Tom has teamed up with his co-producers from the 2002 film - his wife Rita Wilson and Gary Goetzman - along with leading actress Nia Vardalos, to launch the legal action against the company, World Entertainment News Network reported.

The producers claim Gold Circle has so far avoided an audit to specify exact revenue from 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding', instead providing accounts that are 'vague and inadequate in failing to provide information consistent with industry standards'.
