Vikram’s Veera Dheera Sooran Faces Legal Roadblock As Morning Shows Get Cancelled
The Delhi High Court reportedly issued an interim stay on the film’s release until 10:30 am on Thursday, causing 9 am shows to be scrapped.
Actor Vikram’s much-anticipated film, Veera Dheera Sooran, was set to release today, but its debut was marred by legal complications, leading to multiple show cancellations. Reportedly, production company B4U approached the Delhi High Court on Wednesday, seeking to halt the film’s release due to a contractual dispute with the production house HR Pictures.
As per a report in Times Now, Veera Dheera Sooran faced legal trouble, resulting in the cancellation of early morning screenings across multiple multiplex chains, including PVR and Cinepolis on its release day. The Delhi High Court reportedly issued an interim stay on the film’s release until 10:30 am on Thursday, causing 9 am shows to be scrapped. The stay was imposed as B4U demanded compensation from the film’s producer, Riya Shibu, alleging that she failed to honour a contract regarding the film’s OTT rights before its theatrical release.

In response to the legal dispute, the Delhi High Court directed the producer to immediately deposit Rs 7 crore and submit all relevant documents related to the case within 48 hours. Sun News reported this directive, adding that the legal battle has raised concerns about the film’s uninterrupted theatrical run.
The legal trouble also had an impact beyond India. According to 123Telugu, the film’s planned premiere screenings in the United States were cancelled due to the ongoing litigation, leaving international fans disappointed. Despite the setback, screenings in India were expected to commence later in the afternoon.
Directed by SU Arun Kumar, Veera Dheera Sooran—also referred to as Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2—boasts an ensemble cast featuring Vikram, SJ Suryah, Suraj Venjaramoodu (making his Tamil debut), Dushara Vijayan, and Siddique. The film’s music is composed by GV Prakash Kumar. Interestingly, the project is part of a two-part series, with a prequel (Part 1) yet to begin production. The storyline follows Kaali, a provision store owner and family man, who finds himself entangled in a dangerous crime network and a mysterious mission.
Vikram, who had actively promoted Veera Dheera Sooran leading up to its release, has not yet addressed the ongoing controversy. Fans who pre-booked tickets for the morning shows were left frustrated by the unexpected cancellations. As of now, the film’s team has not issued an official statement regarding the situation, leaving audiences eagerly waiting for further developments.
