Accordingly it appears that no film can release in tamilnadu without last minute hassles either involving a plagiarism row or a financial tussle. Reportedly the latest film to join the long list of films that have had a dramatic turn of events per-release is Rajinikanth’s Darbar. Slated to release on january 9 worldwide, Darbar has been produced by Lyca Productions.
Furthermore the madras high court on monday directed lyca productions to respond to a petition seeking a ban on Darbar’s release. Apparently malaysia based entertainment company DMY Creations has claimed to have loaned Rs 12 crore at a rate of 30% p.a. to Lyca for producing Rajinikanth’s 2018 release, 2.0. Currently, the amount due allegedly stands at Rs 23.70 crore and DMY Creations has sought for a ban on Darbar’s release until the dues are settled.
Moreover in their petition, they have also stated that when 2.0 released, they bought distribution rights for the film in malaysia from Lyca for an amount of Rs 20 crore. Perhaps information from their website shows that DMY has distributed films like Sye Raa narasimha reddy, Viswasam, Game Over, Super 30, Oththa Seruppu Size 7 and more. Also having heard the case, Justice Govindaraj has sent a notice to lyca productions to respond by january 2.
