The film was a depiction of the destruction of certain apartment complexes in Maradu for having allegedly violated certain regulations. The criminal trial against the builders was still pending. Therefore, the plaintiffs filed a suit seeking an injunction from the City Civil Court, preventing the release of the movie on any OTT service/theatre as it would otherwise affect their rights to a fair trial. They cited the Black Friday precedent where the Supreme Court stayed the release of the movie until the trial in the Bombay blast matters had been completed. The Kochi Civil Court stayed the release of the film.
