Samantha Ruth Prabu’s Yashoda is receiving rave reviews and earning well at the box office but the film has landed in legal trouble as per recent reports. The film directed by Hari and Harish revolves around the surrogacy mafia. Reports state that the EVA IVF Hospital has taken legal action against the film for showing their hospital in a negative light.
According to a report in Pinkvilla, the hospital claimed that the way the film depicts the surrogacy mafia can harm its credibility and reputation. The hospital’s administration filed a petition in the Hyderabad court. In their petition, they also claimed that the film misused their name and put them in a bad light. The court, in turn, sided with the hospital administration and postponed the film’s OTT release. The film was reportedly supposed to release on December 19.
