Yashoda movie is in a bit of a tussle with Eva IVF hospital. The hospital has filed a suit against the movie and issued notices to the production house to postpone the OTT release. The notice demanded the OTT release should be stopped until 19th December.
Dr. Mohan Kumar, owner of Eva IVF Hospital, has named the directors and producers of the film, too, for allegedly “misusing the name and damaging the reputation of the hospital”. The court has issued notices seeking their replies, according to reports.In the film, the central character Yashoda, played by Samantha Prabhu, becomes a surrogate mother for money to fund her sister’s surgery.
She is taken to a hospital that happens to be named ‘Eva’, where she discovers that several other women there are becoming surrogates as they are poor and need money like she does, as per the film’s plot. Commercial surrogacy is banned in India, and the film revolves around a racket that illegally “rents out wombs”.
The hearing of this case is due on 19th December 2022 hence there won’t be any OTT release until then. Yashoda digital streaming rights were bagged by Amazon Prime.
“Yashoda” was released in theaters on November 11 in five languages: Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
Samantha played as the lead in this thriller and the movie received good collections at the box office and has good potential to do well in OTT too.
Yashoda is directed by Hari Shankar and Harish Narayan (credited as Hari-Harish), and produced by Sivalenka Krishna Prasad. It includes good actors like Varalaxmi SarathKumar, Unni Mukundan, Rao Ramesh, Murali Sharma etc. Music is composed by Mani Sharma.
