The unhealthy trend of putting the producers in peril is fast growing in the Tamil cinema industry as more and more people are opting to file a suit on the last minute with just a few ahead for the release dates. Will the court heed to this act?

Almost all the best movies and most anticipated flicks of the season succumbed to this viral problem when distributors claimed some settlements at the last moment. Recently, even Kamal Haasan's 'Unnai Pol Oruvan' faced a lot of hurdle from Ayngaran International. The producers claimed he was paid some 10 crores to commence shooting for the movie 'Marma Yogi' and he was not supposed to act in other projects.

'Thalaivan Irukindran' alias 'Unnai Pol Oruvan' was in the shooting for nearly four months but no one bothered to consider filing a petition. But, only with two weeks before the release the case was registered and a ban was claimed. Luckily, no such thing happened and the makers went for a mutual agreement as it was produced by Kamal's Raj Kamal Films banner.

For corporate companies, such claim doesn't occur as they have their own way of settling matters. The same happened for 'Yogi' even after the bookings started. With just two days for the weekend release, producer Gnanavel Rajan made the case regarding to the unfinished business of the two-year-old 'Paruthi Veeran'.

Somehow it got cleared and majority of the times, the case is solved in an amiable manner outside the court premises. As the court proceedings would take eons to be finished, the plaintiff and the defendant agree upon a settlement so that it could be withdrawn.

Such is the plight of Tamil cinema and the makers who produce movies! Latest joining the list is debutant show 'Renigunta' that was first postponed owing to censor board allegations for excessive violence and now it is another court ban till Dec 7. Along with the plaintiff Uttam Chand, another producer had joined the case and the movie wouldn't see the light of the day unless it is clarified.

From this, almost every common man and producer had learnt the malicious lesson that the best way to abstract high settlement is to impose a ban with a court order so that they would hurriedly pay to ensure scheduled release. If the High Court doesn't take notice of this pestering problem, then the law would never be stabilized and all bad doers would make good use of it!

We know the reel life heroes can't do much but will the High Court take notice and do the needful?
