Actor Sues Producer Over Movie Dispute

Actor Ravi Mohan has reportedly approached the Madras High Court regarding a dispute with producer Shruthi Nallappa concerning the upcoming film 'Bro Club'. Ravi Mohan alleges that Shruthi Nallappa has defamed him by communicating with Netflix and other film industry organizations about outstanding payments. The court has taken note of the plea and issued a notice to the producer, who must now respond to the allegations. A subsequent hearing is scheduled for August 25.

The legal contention is linked to the film's production history. Initially known as 'Bro Code' and set to be produced by Shruthi Nallappa's banner, Miracle Movies, the project saw Ravi Mohan taking over production through Ravi Mohan Studios after an initial agreement. Disagreements reportedly arose over pre-production expenses allegedly incurred by Miracle Movies.

Ravi Mohan's legal team informed the court that Shruthi Nallappa contacted third parties, including Netflix and the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce, seeking to halt payments related to the movie's digital rights due to alleged dues. Netflix forwarded these communications, requesting resolution and protection against potential claims.

Ravi Mohan's counsel argued that the producer's actions damaged the actor's and his company's reputation, suggesting legal recourse for financial disputes was available instead of third-party communication. The Madras High Court has not yet made a final ruling, awaiting Shruthi Nallappa's response. Separately, Ravi Mohan's production house was involved in a trademark dispute concerning the title 'Bro Code' with a beverage company in Delhi High Court.
