Madras High Court Halts Akhanda 2 Release Over Eros Award Dispute

A court injunction tied to Eros International’s ₹28 crore arbitral award blocks the film’s distribution until further orders.

Overview

  • Production house 14 Reels Plus announced the film will not release as scheduled and has not provided a new date.
  • The Division Bench order restrains any theatrical, digital or satellite exploitation of the movie pending resolution of the enforcement action.
  • Eros told the court the dues stem from a prior award and argued 14 Reels Plus is effectively the same promoters as 14 Reels Entertainment.
  • Paid premieres were cancelled after the makers first cited technical issues, as ticketing in the Telugu states stalled and overseas KDMs did not clear.
  • Reports say censor formalities were completed earlier, yet exhibitors and distributors now await legal clearance while the producers work to resolve the dispute.
