Producer Johnny Vieira is suing High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens.
In court papers filed Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court - Vieira is demanding more than $5 million and punitive damages from the Disney star, according to TMZ.com.
Vieira claims that he and Hudgens, now 19, worked together to launch her career – and that they agreed to "share equally" in the profits.
Vieira alleges that a court approved the 2005 agreement, as Hudgens was a minor.
Hudgens sent a photo of herself to the producer, inscribing it: "Johnny, thank you for everything, without you, I would be no where, we will make it BIG – Vanessa Hudgens. Sweet."
But after High School Musical became a smash hit, he says she dumped him – and that she still owes him millions – which Vieira claims were discovered "after an expensive audit."
There has been no comment from Hudgens's people yet.
