High Court stays Bheema ?



The Madras High Court has put an interim stay on the release of Vikram starred mega budget film Bheema in a case sued by a private financier against the producer of the film.

Right from its launch, the film has been mired in continuous problems. At one stage, the producer A.M.Rathnam washed his hands off the project, and handed over the production in-charge to the director of the movie, Linguswamy. Sources reveal that it was the director himself who arranged finances to complete the film at one stage. Recently, the audio of Bheema was launched in a grand manner, and the director assured everyone present there that the film will be released in September end.

Soon after the announcement came, actor Vijaykanth complained to the Producer's Council to stop the screening of the film until the producer Rathnam cleared his payment dues amounting to Rs.80 lakhs pending with his earlier film Dharmapuri. The negotiations are still going on in front of the Council functionaries to solve the issue amicably.
