Sathya Movies have written letter to the Producers Council in this regard.

In the letter it has been stated that,” There is news that the film in Vijay is acting is to be titled Kavalkaran. We have not given the rights to anyone. Hence it should not be permitted to use the title.”

Tamil Nadu Producers Council has also written to the producer of Vijay’s film. In the letter it has been stated,” While using the old title, the permission has to be sought from the concerned producer and also get a No Objection certificate. So in the absence of these, there is a rule in the Council that the title should not be used. Hence a fresh title should be used.”
