Director Shankar is busy reading case files than scripts lately. There�s already a pending case that�s going on in the Madras High Court. Now there�s a new one.
The controversy if you didn�t know is that Lyca Productions had filed a case on Shankar on not going ahead in making their ambitious project �Indian-2�. Last year when the shooting had started, an untoward accident caused the death of a technician on sets. After a while with the election season, Kamal Hassan got busy with his political campaigns.
Between all this Shankar announced two projects � one with Telugu star Ram Charan and Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh. As soon as the first project was announced Lyca Productions filed a case in the Madras High Court to which the court advised an out-of-the-court settlement. The next case was by Aascar Ravichandran who filed a case when Shankar announced the project with Ranveer Singh which is an adaptation of �Anniyan�.
The latest issue is that Lyca Productions has filed a case in a court in Hyderabad and requested the film chambers there to not allow Shankar to continue with the making of Ram Charan�s movie until �Indian 2� is complete.
On that note, the latest update is that the Madras High Court has refused to accept Lyca Productions� appeal to put a stay on �Indian 2�. The Judge has asked Shankar to file a statement by the next hearing.
