Vikram’s ‘Veera Dheera Sooran’ hits big screens; Director SU Arun Kumar shares an emotional message | Tamil Movie News

The much-awaited ‘Veera Dheera Sooran,’ starring Vikram, was initially scheduled for release today but faced a legal hurdle. The Delhi High Court had earlier imposed a stay order on the film following a petition by Ivy Entertainment. The company alleged that they had provided financial backing and secured key rights to the film, which the production team had overlooked while planning the release. However, in a recent ruling, the court lifted the stay, clearing the way for the film’s theatrical release after the makers sorted out the issues with the petitioner.
Director Arun Kumar’s emotional response
Director Arun Kumar expressed his gratitude and apologies regarding the delayed release through a social media video. He said that his father had gone to the theater three times in the morning to purchase a ticket, only to learn that the film would be screened only from the evening shows. He acknowledged the fans’ patience and unwavering support, sincerely apologizing for the unexpected delay. Arun Kumar also extended his gratitude to Chiyaan Vikram’s fans, who had waited six weeks for the film’s release, as well as to theater owners, distributors, and his supporters from the industry. He urged audiences to experience ‘Veera Dheera Sooran,’ now officially hitting the screens from the evening shows.
Legal dispute over film rights
The legal battle stemmed from Ivy Entertainment’s claims that the filmmakers had violated agreements regarding literary rights, music rights, North Indian language releases, and digital and online distribution. The company accused the production team of moving forward with the release without obtaining proper written approvals. Despite receiving legal notices, the filmmakers continued to announce the film’s release, leading to an interim stay order.
The final verdict brings relief.
Initially, the Delhi High Court had scheduled a verdict for Thursday, leaving the film’s fate uncertain. However, with the latest court ruling lifting the ban, Veera Dheera Sooran is now set for release, much to the relief of fans and the film’s team.
