Tu Hai Meri Kiran, the Sonakshi Sinha starrer, cannot be released until Rs 8.85 crore with interest is deposited, the Bombay High Court has ordered in a commercial suit by And Movie Products LLP against Echelon Productions and others; the claims are yet to be tested.
Mumbai: With a release announced for October 23, 2026, the film Tu Hai Meri Kiran, which stars Sonakshi Sinha, has been held back by the Bombay High Court until Rs 8.85 crore plus interest is deposited, in a commercial suit filed by And Movie Products LLP against Echelon Productions and others [And Movie Products LLP v. Echelon Productions and Others].
A money dispute, not a dispute over content
The suit is before the Original Side of the High Court (neutral citation 2026:BHC-OS:22712). The order has nothing to do with what the film shows: its release has been made conditional on the deposit of the amount claimed, with interest. The Court has expressed no view on the merits of the claim, and the defendants’ stand has not been set out in the material available for this report.
At the interim stage, a High Court hearing a commercial suit can ask a defendant to secure a disputed sum before a project is released, so that a decree, if one is eventually passed, is not defeated. Such an order is not a finding that the amount is owed. The claim, and the defence to it, will be decided at trial.
The film
Its promotional material describes Tu Hai Meri Kiran as a psychological thriller about one-sided love, with Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal in the cast. The trailer came out in early October 2026, and the makers named October 23 as the release date.
What is not yet available
The basis of the claim, the bench that passed the order and the date of the order are not yet available. This report will be updated once the text of the order can be read.
What happens next
Whether the film is released now turns on the deposit being made as directed, or on any further order of the Court. The next date of hearing is not known.
