Distributor Mannan who bought distribution rights for Mani Ratna's Kadal filed a complaint with the commissioner of Polics demanding repayment from him for Kadal's distribution loss.
Against to this, Mani Ratnam's lawyer Abudu Kumar said, "We have sued Mannan for the defamatory remarks and case he has made against Mani Ratnam. We have filed a suit claiming five crore rupees for the damages that he has caused to the director's reputation. A restraining order was also passed by the Madras High Court and notice has been issued restraining Mannan from entering Mani Ratnam's office or residence."
He even told, "Mani Ratnam has sold the worldwide rights of the film to another company during the first schedule of the film itself. Mani Ratnam or his company cannot be held for the distributor's loss."
