The Madras High Court has refused to stay the release of Parasakthi, clearing the way for its Pongal theatrical release on January 10. The court found no grounds to halt the film despite plagiarism allegations raised by an assistant director.
The Madras High Court ordered actor Vishal Krishna Reddy to repay Rs 30 crore with 30% interest to Lyca Productions for breaching a loan agreement. Despite receiving funds, Vishal failed to make any payments. The court found him evasive and upheld the terms of the contract, rejecting his defenses and claims.
