Madras High Court HaltsVaa Vaathiyaar’ Release Pending Dec. 8 Hearing

The restraint follows an Official Assignee petition in a 2011 co‑production dispute seeking ₹21.78 crore from producer K. E. Gnanavel Raja.

Overview

  • The Division Bench issued an interim prohibition on the film’s release and listed the execution petition with connected matters for hearing on December 8.
  • Studio Green released the trailer and announced a December 12 theatrical date, which remains subject to the court’s directions.
  • Court records show a 2019 order directing repayment of ₹10.35 crore with interest after a 2016 filing that sought 18% interest from 2013.
  • The Official Assignee’s fresh petition seeks ₹21.78 crore and asked the court to block a December 5 release unless the amount was paid.
  • In November 2024, the High Court permitted Studio Green’s Kanguvaa to open only after a ₹6.14 crore deposit, offering a recent procedural precedent.
