After many uncertainties, Tamil superstar Vikram’s much-anticipated Veera Dheera Sooran is all set to release in theatres this evening. While the release of the SU Arunkumar-directorial was stalled for four weeks by the Delhi High Court earlier today, the latest update comes after the producer and distributor reached an amicable settlement.

HR Pictures, the banner backing the film, announced the news on their official X handle.

Meanwhile, Arunkumar issued a video statement apologising to the audiences for any and all hassle that might have happened due to the cancellation of the morning and afternoon shows today. “I thank the fans of Vikram sir, who have eagerly been waiting to watch the film, and the distributors, theatre owner and my colleagues from the film fraternity for supporting us and standing with us during this issue,” he added.

Veera Dheera Sooran is an action thriller headlined by Tamil superstar Vikram and directed by Arunkumar, best known for helming titles like Sethupathi and Chithha. Also starring Suraj Venjaramoodu, SJ Suryah and Dushara Vijayan, the film has music by GV Prakash Kumar. Theni Eswar has served as the cinematographer, while the editing is by Prasanna GK. Riya Shibu is producing the film under her HR Pictures banner.

Earlier today, the release of Veera Dheera Sooran was stalled for a period of four weeks by the Delhi High Court over a legal dispute involving IVY Entertainment Private Limited, which had the exclusive rights with respect to the film in Hindi and North Indian languages, and HR Pictures.

The court had said that the postponement of the release of the film is subject to IVY Entertainment depositing a sum of Rs. 7 crores with HR Pictures within 24 hours. “Upon receipt of the Rs. 7 crores, the defendant (HR Pictures) shall immediately provide the Before Release Materials and Theatrical Release Materials to the plaintiff (IVY) within 48 hours as stipulated in Article 4 of the Assignment Agreement,” the court had said.

The court noted that HR Pictures has assigned sole and exclusive rights concerning the film in Hindi and North Indian languages in favour of the IVY Entertainment in perpetuity, including theatrical rights and non-linear rights, digital and online rights, etc., in all languages.
