Films inspired by real-life incidents are on the increase in recent times. Adding one more to the list is director V Z Durai's next venture.

Titled Hindu Nesan, the movie is supposed to star Jeeva in the lead role. The movie would be produced by director Ameer, who is wielding the megaphone for Paruthy Veeran.

It may be recalled that Hindu Nesan was a popular magazine in early 1940s which wrote gossips on veteran actors M K Thyagaraja Bhagavathar and N S Krishnan. Its reporter Lakshmikanthan was murdered and the blame fell on MKT and NSK resulting in both being jailed.

One wonders whether the movie is inspired by the incident. However efforts to contact Durai in this regard has failed. Durai, who shot to fame directing movies like Mugavari, Kadhal Sadugudu and Thotti Jaya, is planning to commence shooting in the coming months.
