Suriya’s highly anticipated film “Kanguva” is poised for a grand release on Thursday, November 14. However, the film has encountered several legal obstacles that could delay its release. Previously, the film’s producer Gnanavel Raja faced a court petition from Reliance Entertainment, demanding repayment of a ₹55 crore loan before the film’s release. Studio Green agreed to settle this amount, seemingly clearing the way for the release.
Now, a fresh legal complication has emerged. The Chennai High Court has issued an order to Studio Green, mandating that “Kanguva” cannot be released unless ₹20 crore is paid to a court-appointed administrator by November 13. This order relates to a debt recovery case linked to Arjun Lal, a former financier to numerous film industry figures. Arjun Lal was declared bankrupt, and a court-appointed administrator is working to recover outstanding debts after his passing.
With just days until the scheduled release, the “Kanguva” team faces mounting pressure to resolve these financial disputes. Fans are eagerly waiting for updates, hoping the legal issues will be resolved in time for Suriya’s much-awaited return to the big screen in this magnum opus. It is worth mentioning that many theatres in Tamil Nadu have not opened bookings for “Kanguva” yet.
