Following a legal notice from Ilaiyaraaja after he moved the Madras High Court alleging unauthorised use of his name and work, the veteran music composer's name has been extracted from all promotional materials of Vanitha's Mrs & Mr.

Vanitha Film Productions, the makers of Mrs & Mr, informed the court during a hearing of the civil suit filed by Ilaiyaraaja's legal team that his name has been withdrawn from all promotional material on social media and other platforms.

Ilaiyaraaja's legal team filed a suit against Vanitha Vijaykumar's Mrs & Mr for unauthorised use of a song from Michael Madana Kama Rajan. The 'Siva Rathiri' song from Kamal Haasan's Michael Madana Kama Rajan (1990) has been used without permission in Mrs & Mr. He accused Vanitha Film Productions of unauthorizedly using the song along with misusing his personality rights in the film.

Last week, the Madras High Court declined to grant any ex parte interim relief in a civil suit filed by the composer. Ilaiyaraaja's legal team had filed a case in the Chennai High Court seeking the removal of the song from Mrs & Mr, helmed by Vanitha and starring her alongside dance choreographer Robert. Further, he sought a permanent injunction restraining the production company from using his personality or image for the film’s promotional materials.

The composer also asked that the production company be ordered to reveal any earnings made from the purported exploitation of his personality rights.

Alongside the lawsuit, two interim applications were submitted: one calling for the song to be taken out of the movie right away, and the other asking for a halt to the sale, showing, or broadcast of the film that contains the disputed music.
