Not just that, basis their petition, Melur’s Judicial Magistrate Court has summoned the actor, asking him to make an appearance before the court. 

Apparently, the couple has produced a birth certificate along with childhood photographs of the actor as evidence to validate their claim.

The couple is now asking for a monthly maintenance amount of ₹65,000 from the actor. Or should we say their son?
