‘LIC demanded Rs 112 crore’: Vignesh Shivan reveals he had to change LIK’s title after insurance company sent legal notice | Tamil News

3 min readHyderabadApr 15, 2026 08:21 PM IST When Vignesh Shivan started making Love Insurance Kompany, he had another title in mind, and he even launched the film under that name. But soon after, he got a legal notice, and everything changed. The notice he got was from Life Insurance Corporation, which demanded Rs 112 crore if Vignesh Shivan retained his original title. Speaking about the title change in a recent interview with Post-cut clarity, Vignesh Shivan said the demand left him with no choice. “We initially titled it LIC, Love Insurance Company, but LIC demanded Rs 112 crore to use the name.

Why Anirudh’s Decade-Old Heartbreak Anthem Finally Made It to the Big Screen in 2026 with Love Insurance Kompany

4 min readHyderabadApr 13, 2026 06:43 PM IST Some songs take a winding road to reach an audience. “Enakenna Yaarum Illaye” took ten years. The Tamil track was produced by Deepan Boopathy in 2014 as part of the album Aakko, a project tied to a Tamil film that ultimately never made it to theatres. Composed by Anirudh Ravichander and written by Vignesh Shivan, the song was built around themes of heartbreak and longing. It was a quiet, aching number that stood apart from the high energy, rhythm-driven music Anirudh was rapidly becoming known for in Tamil cinema at the time. To understand why the song’s reappearance matters, it helps to know where Anirudh was in 2015. He had burst onto the Tamil film music scene in 2012 with 3, composed when he was just 21 years old, and had quickly established himself as one of the most exciting young composers in the industry. “Enakenna Yaarum Illaye” came during that early, defining phase of his career, which is part of why it carries such weight for …
