Ilayarajaa was using a space given to him by LV Prasad at Prasad Studios in Chennai, a recording studio for over 40 years now. This was a verbal agreement between LV Prasad and Ilayaraaja. However, the scions of the family don't want the arrangement to continue and the same went to court.

The case came up for hearing in the High Court. At that time, on behalf of Prasad Studios, it was informed that Ilayarajaa can be allowed into the Studios but with conditions.

They demanded that Ilayaraaja withdraw the civil suit he had filed against them, asking for Rs 50 lakh in damages; the land owned by Prasad Studios should not be claimed; only an assistant, a musician and a lawyer should come along and if these conditions are accepted, Ilayaraja has to file a petition in the court, agreeing to the same.

Soon enough, Ilayaraja withdrew the cases and his belongings were also taken from the studio.
