The tussle between director Shankar and Lyca Productions over Indian 2 had indirectly impacted Shankar-Ram Charan film as Lyca Productions wanted the director to not work on other projects until Indian 2 is completed. The issue even reached the court too.
As a big relief to Shankar and Ram Charan fans, the Madras High Court refused Lyca’s petition that was filed seeking directives to see that Robo director Shankar will not take up other projects without completing Indian 2.
The High Court even rejected the petition filed by the leading production house to order Gentleman director Shankar to deposit Rs 170. 23 crore as security amount, if he wants to helm two projects simultaneously.
This has cleared the way for the much-awaited Shankar-Ram Charan’s project. The high-ticket film, which will be bankrolled by ace producer Dil Raju as his landmark 50th film is expected to be launched in August. The film will be made on a Pan-India scale.
Lyca Productions, which is not leaving any stone unturned to see that Shankar should complete the balance shoot of Indian 2 before joining other sets has moved a court in Hyderabad in this regard.
However, Dil Raju and Ram Charan are said to be confident that they will not receive any problematic orders from the court given the fact that the Madras High Court has let Shankar free of the issue.
