'Poi Solla Porom' in troubed waters
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,August 21 2008]
'Poi Solla Porom' directed by 'Kireedam' fame Vijay and produced by Priyadarshan seems to courting trouble one after the other.
The film is the Tamil remake of the Hindi film 'Khosla Ka Ghosla' which narrated the story of a man and his struggles to retain a plot of land that he had acquired. After Priyadarshan's production house Four Frames had announced this project, the producers of the Hindi film filed a case against Priyadarshan for not obtaining the necessary permission to remake their film. This issue seems to have been sorted out but then another problem has taken shape.
Producer S. Shanmugam has filed a case stating that the title 'Poi Solla Porom' is his and that Priyadarshan cannot use it for the remake film. Shanmugam had first addressed this to the Producers' Council. Since no solution was meted out he has chosen get help from the legal system.
However, the makers of 'Poi Solla Porom' insist that the movie will be released as planned on the 29th of August.
