Wednesday,24 November 2010The Madras High Court today stayed the release of Vijay starrer ‘Kavalan’, which was scheduled to hit the screens next month.
A petition was filed by J K Saravanan, proprietor of Tantra films from Singapore against Romesh Babu, producer of ‘Kavalan’. He alleged in his plea that Romesh had promised overseas rights to him for Rs five crore and took Rs 1.5 crore as advance.
But now Romesh Babu has sold the rights to Cinema Paradise. When I sought an explanation through email, he threatened to cancel the agreement.
The petition came up for hearing before Judge S Rajeswaran. After hearing the petition, the Judge stayed the release of the movie for the next six weeks and sent a notice to the producer.
