has demanded Rs. 1 lakh compensation for using it in the film without his permission or to delete the song from the film. Hearing the petition Justice Jeyapal ordered the defendants, director Susi Ganesan, producer Kalaipuli S Dhanu and music composer Devi Sri Prasad to file a counter explaining the issue within two week’s time.
