Mohan has filed a lawsuit seeking ₹9 crore in compensation for the loss he suffered, as he had signed a contract to act in two films, but the shooting did not start as scheduled.
Ravi Mohan cites loss due to delayed shoot despite call sheet
As per News 18, in the petition, Ravi Mohan alleged that despite being allotted a call sheet of 80 days from January to March 2025, no shooting of any kind had commenced, and that he had lost opportunities in other films due to this. He then stated that even though time was allotted from March to June, the contract automatically expired as the project did not progress, and that he therefore withdrew from the project.
Seeks ban on film release and ₹9 crore compensation
Furthermore, when the producer was notified, a notice was sent to return the advance payment of Rs. 6 crore. In this context, the petition also requests a ban on the sale and release of films produced by the company, including 'Chennai City Gangster'. Ravi Mohan has also insisted that a compensation of ₹9 crore should be ordered to be paid to compensate for the losses caused by those films.

'Sitaare Zameen Par' - About the movie Directed by RS Prasanna, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' masterfully combines emotions, humor, and a social message. While the central storyline focuses on a bold sports teacher mentoring a group of athletes with intellectual disabilities as part of his community service, the film transcends typical sports dramas. Additionally, in this spiritual sequel of 'Taare Zameen Par,' from established actors like Aamir and Genelia to the ten newcomers, every performer has given an outstanding performance. 'Sitaare Zameen Par' review 'The film mixes sentiment with spunk, avoiding overly preachy tones. ID (intellectual disabilities) is described through relatable lines like, 'Humaari kismat haathon pe nahi, chromosome pe likh ke aati hai (Our destiny isn't written on our palms — it's written in our chromosomes).' While the underdog sports narrative and troubled-coach arc feel familiar, the film's heart and humour keep it engaging,' reads an excerpt from Times of India's review of the movie. Our critics gave the film an impressive 3.5-star rating.

'Saiyaara' box office collection Day 1: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda make impressive debut with Rs 20 crore haul
'Saiyaara', the romantic drama directed by Mohit Suri , has opened to a stellar response at the Indian box office. The film starrer debutant Ahaan Panday in the lead, has scored an impressive Rs 20 crore (India net) haul on its opening day at the ticket windows, according to early estimates by sacnilk. The film, which marks the big-screen debut of Ahaan alongside Aneet Padda , beat all expectations and early box office predictions to score this impressive feat. The film's initial box office projections, based on advance bookings and blocked seats, was set to be around Rs 9.39 crore to Rs 12.49 crore. However, according to the reports, the film has surpassed these predictions, setting it up to be a potential sleeper hit. Saiyaara recorded a 49.90% occupancy in Hindi-speaking regions on Friday. The film performed particularly well in cities like Jaipur, Lucknow, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and the National Capital Region (NCR), where theatre occupancy rates were among the highest in the country. Mumbai recorded an estimated 43% overall occupancy rate. Trade analysts are crediting the film's success to a combination of fresh casting, music, and Suri's emotional storytelling, which seems to have struck a chord with younger audiences. This impressive Rs 20 crore debut for Panday, comes at a time when several other star kids, latest being Shanaya Kapoor , who failed to rake in even Rs 2 crore at the box office in the first week of the release of her debut film 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?
