Renowned
banner
Lyca
Productions
and
director
Shankar
have
been
at
loggerheads
for
the
past
few
months.
The
ongoing
controversy
began
after
the
director
announced
two
of
his
projects
-
#RC15
with
Ram
Charan
and
Anniyan
remake
with
Bollywood
star
Ranveer
Singh,
before
completing
his
ongoing
film
Indian
2
with
Kamal
Haasan
in
the
lead
role.
Post
the
announcements,
Lyca
Productions,
producer
of
the
Ulaganayagan-starrer
reportedly
moved
Madras
High
Court
against
Shankar,
accusing
him
of
not
completing
the
film
even
after
spending
a
major
chunk
of
money
out
of
the
total
budget.
The
team
also
requested
to
restrain
him
from
committing
to
any
other
project
before
Indian
2's
completion.
Though
the
two
parties
were
directed
by
the
court
to
sort
out
the
differences
if
possible,
the
duo
was
seen
failing
in
the
attempt.
Well
now,
in
the
latest
development,
Lyca
Productions
has
brought
in
an
unexpected
twist
to
the
controversy
by
writing
to
the
Tollywood
and
Bollywood
film
chambers
against
Shankar.
Reportedly,
the
production
banner
has
requested
the
film
industries
to
restrain
him
from
taking
up
any
project
until
he
completes
Indian
2.
Let
us
tell
you
that
#RC15
is
being
bankrolled
by
Dil
Raju,
while
the
Anniyan
Hindi
remake
is
backed
by
popular
production
house
Pen
Studios.
With
the
reports
about
Lyca's
letter
to
the
Telugu
and
Hindi
film
chambers
going
viral
on
social
media,
one
can
soon
expect
a
reply
from
the
makers
of
Shankar's
forthcoming
films.
As
of
now,
the
Madras
HC
hearing
will
take
place
on
June
4,
2021.
Notably,
Shankar
has
also
filed
a
counter-petition
stating
that
the
production
house
and
the
lead
actor
Kamal
Haasan
were
to
blame
for
the
delay
in
the
making
of
Indian
2.
