Litigation
Producer, S.P.B. Charan wanted to dub this movie in other regional languages like Telugu and Kannanda. Aggrieved by this, Thiagarajan filed a suit in the Madras High Court on grounds of copyright violation saying that he is the author of the script and has copyright over it and therefore dubbing the movie in other languages would violate his copyright for it. With respect to the same, he prayed for an injunction directing the producer not to dub and release the movie. The respondent argued that the copyright rests with him and that his authorship of the movie entitles him to dub the movie. The court both in the Original Suit as well as in the Appeal passed orders in favour of the respondent/producer.
