The film's producers and filmmakers have also been accused by Dr. Mohan Kumar, owner of the Eva IVF Hospital, of allegedly "misusing the name and harming the reputation of the hospital." According to sources, the court has sent notifications requesting their responses.

The hospital's management submitted a lawsuit to the Hyderabad court. Additionally, they asserted in their appeal that the movie used their name improperly and damaged their reputation. The court then delayed the movie's OTT release after siding with the hospital administration. According to reports, the movie was scheduled to premiere on December 19.
