Justice RN Manjula, on Thursday, heard the case filed by SJ Suryah seeking to direct Ramesh, a film producer to settle Rs. 1.4 crore which he committed to pay.
The counsel for the producer claimed that he suffered a huge loss as the film Kadamaiyai Sei didn't go well. Further, he said that he is facing difficulty in selling the film in OTT and satellite and offered to give the rights to the plaintiff considering he has huge face value to sell the film in OTT and satellite.

However, the counsel for the producer requested one week time, before the Justice to settle the matter. Accepting this Justice posted the matter to July 20, 2023.
