MUMBAI: Telugu actor Dr Rajasekhar’s latest film, Shekar, was released in theatres on May 20, but screening of the movie was suspended from May 23 following a court order. A civil court in Hyderabad ordered to stall the screening of the movie in theatres after hearing a case regarding the rights of the movie filed by financier Parandhama Reddy.

According to reports, the lawyer of the film’s director Jeevitha Rajasekhar has revealed that the ban on the movie has been lifted by the court, which heard the matter on Monday. The court also rejected the petition filed by the film’s financier Parandhama Reddy seeking money from Dr Rajasekhar.

Previously, Dr Rajasekhar also claimed on social media that the film’s screenings were suspended due to a conspiracy. In an emotional tweet he wrote, “Shekar is everything for me and my family. We worked very hard to bring this film to the audience. Shekar was garnering such a great response, but today, just out of spite, some people have conspired and stopped our film from screening.”
