Madras High Court refers ₹15 crore dispute between actor Ravi Mohan and production house to arbitral tribunal
Second Division Bench of Justices M. Sundar and Mummineni Sudheer Kumar leave it to a retired High Court judge, appointed as sole arbitrator, to take a call on all issues
On September 2, 2025, the Madras High Court referred a ₹15 crore dispute between actor Ravi Mohan and production house Bobby Touch Gold Universal Private Limited to an arbitral tribunal. The conflict arose over repayment of ₹6 crore received as advance for acting in two movies in September 2024. The Second Division Bench of Justices M. Sundar and Mummineni Sudheer Kumar passed the order while resolving an original side appeal filed by the actor against a July 23, 2025 order directing him to provide security for ₹5.90 crore.
The production house had accused the actor of not returning the advance amount despite the termination of an agreement in September of the previous year. Additionally, the actor claimed a loss of ₹15 crore due to delayed movie shootings, insisting the production house compensate him with another ₹9 crore. The court dismissed the actor's claim for damages, as no interim order could be passed until arbitral proceedings were completed.
The production house sought an interim order to secure ₹5.90 crore from the actor, while the actor requested security for ₹9 crore and a restraining order against the production house's plans for "Bro Code" and other films.
