Vijay Sethupathi’s upcoming film Sindhubaadh has been indefinitely postponed over a payment dispute.

For the rest of the amount, Rajarajan took a loan from Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni of Arka Media, which he was unable to repay, reports DNA. The Hyderabad High Court has thus ordered an interim stay on the release of Sindhubaadh, which will be lifted after the dues have been settled.
