Vikram in ‘Veera Dheera Sooran’.

Fans of Tamil superstar Vikram, who were eagerly queuing up today to catch the first show of his film, Veera Dheera Sooran, were in for a shock. The film, directed by Chithha-maker SU Arun Kumar, has landed in legal trouble, with the release now being pushed by four weeks.

The delay comes after IVY Entertainment Pvt Ltd approached the Delhi High Court alleging that the film’s producers, HR Pictures, failed to honour their obligation to sell the film’s digital rights ahead of the theatre release.

The court had initially placed an interim stay on the release until 10.30 a.m. this morning, resulting in cancellation of the 9 a.m. shows across Tamil Nadu and the premiere shows in the US. The latest update suggests that the court has directed the producers to deposit Rs. 7 crore and file the necessary documents to the court within 48 hours.

In a big blow, the makers were also directed to push the film’s release by four weeks.

Meanwhile, according to latest news reports, the plaintiffs and defendants are expected to approach the Delhi High Court once again at 3 PM today to reach an amicable solution.

Veteran distributor and exhibitor Tirupur Subramaniam, in a statement, assured that the legal issues will be resolved soon and that the film will release later this evening. However, an official confirmation about the same is awaited.

Veera Dheera Sooran is an action thriller that also stars Suraj Venjaramoodu, SJ Suryah and Dushara Vijayan.

The film has music by GV Prakash Kumar. The film marks the actor and music director’s fourth collaboration after Deiva Thirumagal (2011), Thaandavam (2012), and Thangalaan (2024).

The film has cinematography by Theni Eswar and editing by Prasanna GK. Riya Shibu is producing the film under her HR Pictures banner.
