Reliance case on Suriya's Kanguva - Sai Pallavi in Dulquer's next

 Kanguva release on November 14 hinges on the court hearing to take place on November 7^th in Madras High Court. Reliance Entertainment has asked for repayment of Rs 55 crores that Kanguva Producer Studio Green owes. Till then it has asked for stay on the film release and the banner’s earlier film Thangalaan OTT release. Already, the official assignee of financier Arjunlal had procured a stay order against Studio Green to recover Rs 10 crore plus interest. Arjunlal declared insolvent and to recover the money that he has to get, Studio Green has to pay Rs 10 crores to Arjunlal over a production deal for Thangalan that went sour. Studio Green deposited Rs 2 crore as ordered by court and agreed not to take any action till next hearing.

Yesterday, Reliance Entertainment moved the court and this time Studio Green has to pay RS 55 crores. Thangalaan was not a hit and made a dent. As per trade sources Studio Green has invested close to Rs 300 crores. This new case from Reliance is hurdle to the producer who had skipped an October Date and announced November 14 as release date.

Any further postponement cannot be afforded by the Producer and hence a settlement is inevitable. Audio launch of the film was recently held in Chennai

As Lucky  Bhaskar after the first day collection is considered as a safe film in box office, now all eyes are on Akasamlo Oka Tara, Dulquer’s next and the news that Sai Pallavi has joined the cast has ,made it very interesting.
