Overview

• Justice Abdul Quddhose of the Madras High Court lifted the February 2025 attachment order on ‘Annai Illam’, Sivaji Ganesan’s heritage property in T. Nagar, Chennai.
• G. Prabhu, the younger son of Sivaji Ganesan, successfully asserted sole ownership of the 53,240 sq. ft. property, excluding claims from other family members.
• The attachment was initially sought by Dhanabakkiam Enterprises to recover a ₹9.39 crore loan tied to a 2017 film project involving Ganesan’s grandson R. G. Dusshyanth and son G. Ramkumar.
• The court directed the T. Nagar Sub-Registrar to expunge all encumbrance entries related to the attachment from the property’s records.
• While the property dispute has been resolved in Prabhu’s favor, the financial liability case involving Dusshyanth and Dhanabakkiam Enterprises continues in court.
