On May 4, 2024, Justice Ravindran ordered Eesan Productions to transfer all rights to \"Jagajaala Killadi\" to the lender\'s managing director. This transfer was intended to facilitate the recovery of the outstanding debt, which had ballooned to Rs 9.2 crore, including interest. The order stipulated that after the loan amount was recovered through the sale of the film rights, any remaining proceeds would be returned to Eesan Productions.\r\nEesan Productions reportedly resisted the order to hand over the film rights, arguing that the film was not yet complete. The lender then petitioned the court to enforce the mediator\'s decision. This petition sought the seizure and public auction of a portion of Sivaji Ganesan\'s house, based on an agreement signed by Dusshyanth\'s father, Ramkumar.\r\nThe petition stated that the outstanding debt, including accrued interest, now amounted to approximately Rs 9.39 crore.Judge Abdul Quddhose, presiding over the case, granted the seizure order, citing Eesan Productions\' failure to file a counter-petition despite having been granted time to do so. He also directed the relevant sub-registrar to be notified of the order. The case has been adjourned until March 5. The seizure highlights the legal ramifications of the financial difficulties faced by Eesan Productions and the lengths to which the lender is willing to go to recover the significant outstanding debt.\r\n<div></div>

Preetisheel Singh D\'Souza is the renowned costume designer and she worked for blockbuster films like&nbsp; Pushpa, Bajirao Mastani, and Jawan. She also designed costumes for Kalki 2898 AD starring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan under the direction of Nag Ashwin.\r\nPreetisheel said&nbsp; \"I even received a letter from Mr Bachchan about his look in Kalki. He praised our work and mentioned how much he loved it and said it was fab. I created the prosthetic forehead and the dreadlocks for him, which he really liked. So, one day, I got this letter from his office that was a special moment for me. It felt like the cherry on top.\"\r\nShe added&nbsp; \"Honestly, every new project I start feels like a challenge in my head. I always think about how I can improve from my previous work. Of course, there have been some significant character transformations&mdash;like Mr Bachchan&rsquo;s look in Kalki, Allu Arjun&rsquo;s look in Pushpa, or the ones I did for Bajirao Mastani, then, Khilji\'s look from Padmaavat, Gangubai Kathiawadi, and Jawan. Then recently Jackie Shroff\'s look in Baby John.\"\r\nShe continued \"Every character I work with, I always try to do something different from what has been done before, and at the same time, the character needs to fit into the drama. The look should not feel out of place or like an over-the-top caricature. It needs to serve the drama and script and have that balance.\"\r\nSpeaking about the challenges, she said \"For instance, when I worked on Bramayugam, we created a creature that required a six-hour-long makeup process. It was done on a 14-year-old; he was a contortionist, and the transformation was insane. But once you see the final output, it all feels worth it.\"
