According to The Times of India, the complainant said that Antony sold the distribution rights of Annadurai at a higher price even though the film didn’t do well in the box office. As a result, he had to incur a loss. Later, Antony promised to give the distribution rights of Kaali at a lesser price but Alexander alleges that he didn’t keep his end of the promise. He filed the case seeking compensation of Rs 4.73 crores.
The film was slated for a March release but owing to the ongoing theatre strike in Tamil Nadu, it was moved to April.
