Ahead of its release, the film became embroiled in a legal dispute when Reji Mathew alleged unauthorized use of his story, screenplay, and dialogues. In November 2025, the Commercial Court of Kottayam ruled that the authorship belonged to Mathew, awarding him ₹30 lakh in compensation and the copyright of the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
