Film director Sudha Kongara approaches the Madras High Court seeking relief over unpaid dues related to her direction of the Tamil film “Parasakthi,” which she says amount to ₹8.39 crore. According to reports, Kongara contends that the producers of “Parasakthi” have not cleared her pending payment despite the film’s commercial reception. Multiple outlets state that her plea also asks the court to prevent the release of another film, “Idhayam Murali,” citing that it is produced by the same banner, Dawn Pictures, and that stopping the release is necessary to secure recovery of the claimed dues. Times of India further reports that the court has issued an interim stay connected to satellite deals for “Parasakthi,” with the matter slated for further consideration on July 8. The hearing and final outcome are pending, while industry observers await the court’s decision on whether “Idhayam Murali” can be released as sought by the producers.
