After failing to get a response from the filmmakers despite posting on social media, Vaageesan took legal action.
Through his lawyer, he has demanded 1.1 crore in compensation for the hardship caused and asked the makers to remove his number from the movie.
He also stated that he did not want to change his number due to its links to essential services like his Aadhaar, bank accounts, and academic platforms.
