What is the story about?
Director Sudha Kongara has taken legal action against Dawn Pictures, the production house backing Parasakthi, over an alleged payment dispute. The filmmaker has moved the Madras High Court, claiming she is yet to receive ₹8.39 crore in dues for her contribution to the film.
The Madras High Court has reportedly stated that the satellite premiere of Parasakthi must remain on hold until July 8. In her plea, Kongara has additionally sought to block the July 10 theatrical release of the Tamil romance Idhayam Murali. The move appears to be aimed at ensuring the production house does not proceed with the release of future projects without first clearing the alleged outstanding payments.
With Idhayam Murali lined up for release next month, Dawn Pictures is now facing fresh uncertainty as the legal dispute threatens to disrupt its plans. The company is effectively navigating legal complications involving two separate productions.
Atharvaa Murali headlines Idhayam Murali, a romantic drama directed by Aakash Baskaran, who has also produced the project, with Dawn Pictures serving as co-producer. The story examines the pain and hope associated with unreciprocated love, while Fahadh Faasil, Preity Mukhundhan and Kayadu Lohar feature in significant roles.
Apart from scoring the film's music, Thaman S is set to make his acting comeback in Idhayam Murali. The cast also includes popular digital creator Niharika NM in a prominent role, with the film initially scheduled for a theatrical release on July 10.
The ongoing court battle over Sudha Kongara's claim of ₹8.39 crore in unpaid dues is likely to shape the release timelines of both Parasakthi and Idhayam Murali. While the production house remains silent on the accusations, attention is now focused on the July 8 hearing, which could provide much-needed clarity on the films' immediate future.
