The release of the much-anticipated Kanguva starring Suriya and Bobby Deol has hit serious legal trouble. Chennai High Court has ordered a stay on Kanguva’s theatrical release:
Originally set to release on November 14, the film’s release now looks uncertain due to a financial dispute involving its producer, KE Gnanavel Raja.

The trouble began when Reliance Entertainment filed a lawsuit against Raja in the Chennai High Court.
Reportedly, Raja had borrowed close to ₹100 crore from Reliance to fund projects like Teddy and Thangalaan.
