Producers of Vikram's forthcoming film 'Karikalan', S Parthiban and S S Vasan, have said that the actor was in no way connected with the script of the movie, which has been claimed as his by Porur-based Rajasekaran.

In a statement, the producers said, "It is understandable when cases are filed against the producer and the director. But, involving an actor in such a case is unfair. He is not part of both the script and title registration process."

They further said: "Dragging Vikram's name in this issue has caused mental agony for the actor. It brings down his reputation and we are consulting our lawyers about filing a defamation suit. In addition, we would also like to convey that we would legally fight the case to prove that Rajasekaran's claim was false."

Claiming that they have necessary documents to prove that the script was original, Vasan and Parthiban said they have the approval of title and registered the story with the bodies concerned. "We are hopeful to start the shooting soon after clearing all the hurdles," they added.
