Azhagiya Tamil Magan's judgement day

Vijay-starrer Azhagiya Tamil Magan landed in trouble with Muhammad Farook filing a case in the court against producer Appachan alleging that he had bought the story earlier. Before seeking legal redressal both the parties approached the Producer's Council wherein it was decided that Muhammad Farook should be paid Rs. 5 lakhs.

Of the Rs. 5 lakhs it was alleged that they paid Rs. 1 lakh and skipped paying the balance amount. Aggrieved by this, Muhammad Farook sought a stay order in the court of law to stall the movie's progress. The latest update on this issue is that it came up for hearing before Justice Rama Subramanian yesterday. Senior counsel P.S. Raman, on behalf of the defendants, contended that Appachan had bought the story from Prem Nawaz for which Rs. 10 lakhs has already been paid.

Based on the said facts the counsel argued that Muhammad Farook has filed the case with the intention to malign actor Vijay's name in the industry and therefore the stay order should be vacated.Having heard the arguments from both the sides the Judge reserved the judgement.
