The case is being heard by a Division Bench of Justices S.M. Subramaniam and C. Kumarappan.
The dispute stems from a 2011 agreement between Studio Green and businessman Arjunlal Sunderdas, who invested ₹12.85 crore in a movie project. Sunderdas was declared insolvent, and the Official Assignee of the High Court is now seeking repayment of ₹21.78 crore, including interest, from Studio Green.
The film, originally scheduled for release on December 12, 2025, has been stalled due to this legal issue. Studio Green has urged the court to modify the order, allowing them to release the movie without paying the outstanding amount. ¹ ² ³
