Samantha’s Yashoda Lands in Troubles

Star actress Samantha’s emotional sci-fi drama, Yashoda which was released on November 11th is currently running to the theaters. As per the trade reports, Yashoda minted decent revenues at the ticket windows in twin Telugu states and heading towards hit status.

On the other hand, Yashoda’s Tamil and Hindi versions failed miserably to grab the audience attention. The film deals with surrogacy concept and revolves around a fertility center named EVA Hospitals. Using EVA Hospitals name has now brought legal troubles to the movie unit. Reportedly, a Hyderabad based hospital with the same EVA Hospitals name management filed a petition on the team members for misusing their name and reputed. The case had a hearing at a Civil court in Hyderabad and reports suggest that the court has issued notices to the makers of Yasodha to stop the OTT streaming of the film until further hearing.

Sources say that the next hearing is scheduled for December 19th. Intresting coincidence is that reputed OTT platform Amazon Prime Video which acquired the post-theatrical streaming rights of Yasodha has planned to premiere the film on December 19th itself. Looks like, Yasodha will not be out on the digital space till the ongoing case is resolved.

Directed by the director duo Hari-Harish, Yasodha also has Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Unni Mukundan, Kalpika, Apsara among others in key roles. Produced by Sivalenka Krishna Prasad, senior musician Mani Sharma has composed background score for the film.
