Films with big star cast and production companies have always been subject to complaints and cases from persons claiming to be the owners of stories, titles etc. If it is a Superstar Rajinikanth film, the possibility of such complaints are even greater. The unwritten norm of Kollywood has just happened to Rajinikanth's 'Kaala Karikaalan' whose shoot has just begun in Mumbai on May 28th.

In his complaint letter in Tamil. Rajeshwaran has alleged that he had penned a script for Superstar Rajinikanth in 1995-96 titled as 'Karikaalan' and he also met Rajinikanth and the latter assured him that they can discuss about doing the project latter.
Rajesekaran says he has registered the title 'Karikaalan' with the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce. He also states that he has filed a Court case against the attempt to make a film titled as 'Karikalan' with Vikram in the lead role however the film did not happen at all.
