Ivy Entertainment Sues PMF Over The Raja Saab Delays, Demands ₹218 Crore

The petition freezes PMF’s rights in the film to facilitate a transfer of completion control to Ivy Entertainment.

Overview

  • Ivy Entertainment has filed a petition in the Delhi High Court against People Media Factory alleging multiple contractual breaches in the production of The Raja Saab.
  • The petition claims PMF failed to provide scheduled production updates, disclose fund utilization, deliver agreed materials, and repeatedly postponed the release schedule.
  • Ivy is seeking repayment of its ₹218 crore investment plus 18% annual interest and has invoked termination clauses in the film rights and theatrical rights agreements.
  • The filing names PMF directors Vishwa Prasad Tumbalam Gooty and Subramanya Vivekananda Kuchibhotla along with several VFX and post-production vendors and requests injunctions to bar them from further dealings.
  • Ivy has signalled it may complete post-production and oversee the proposed January 2026 Sankranti release itself, casting uncertainty over who will finish and distribute the film.
