Yuvan Shankar Raja, a prominent music composer, has filed a Rs 5 crore defamation suit against his former landlady Hajmat Jameela Begum and her brother, Mohammed Javid, in Chennai. Raja claims that he has suffered 'emotional distress' and 'reputational damage' due to remarks made by them, while Javid has accused Raja of failing to pay Rs 20 lakh in rent arrears and vacating the rented property without notice. The legal dispute follows Javid's police complaint alleging property damage caused by Raja. In response, Raja denies the allegations and contends that Javid's statements are false and aimed at tarnishing his reputation. This legal battle has attracted considerable attention in the Tamil film industry, where Raja is a well-known figure. Meanwhile, Raja continues to work on several upcoming projects, including 'Vijay Digot' and 'Sardaar 2'.
