'Ananthan Kaadu' producer denies cheating allegations against Arya

Producer Vinod Kumar denies allegations of a Rs 1.80 crore payment dispute and cheating against actor Arya.

Vinod Kumar calls the complaint by Taher Cine Tekniq a targeted smear campaign and false propaganda.

The Ernakulam Munsif Court permitted the release of 'Ananthan Kaadu' after Vinod Kumar deposited the disputed amount.

Taher Cine Tekniq has filed another petition alleging forged documents and moved the Commercial Court in Hyderabad.

The legal battle continues as the payment dispute remains before the courts; the film is scheduled for release on June 25, 2026.
