But they haven't paid him even after the film has grossed more than 200 crores at the box office.
The case came up for an argument in the local court today. The judge ordered the officials to freeze the bank accounts of Soubin Shahir, Babu Shahir and Shawn Antony. Also, a notice was sent to the producers by the court. The movie team hasn't responded to the issue till now.
