Judge suggests returning money to avoid negative press
During the hearing of the case, Judge Abdul Quddus questioned Ravi Mohan's side, saying, "This case is only creating negative publicity for your name. Wouldn't that be avoided if you returned the money?" In response, the actor's side explained, "Even though he told the production company that he would return the money when he starred in his next film, they did not accept it." The production company also alleged that "Ravi Mohan said he was living in a rented house due to personal matters, but he started his production company with advance money.
" Subsequently, the judge appointed a mediator and took steps to settle the case. He also dismissed Ravi Mohan's compensation case and ordered the filing of property documents worth Rs. 5.90 crore within 4 weeks.
