- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,October 25 2018]
As fans in Tamil Nadu are gearing up to celebrate the mega release of Thalapathy Vijay's 'Sarkar' on November 6, one Varun Rajendran has approached the court, alleging that director AR Murugadoss plagiarized his story.
According to the petition, Varun had registered his story 'Sengol' with the Writers Union in 2006 itself and the union President K Bhagyaraj has also confirmed that the stories are similar. The petitioner has sought to stop the release of the film and to include his name in the credits and a compensation of rupees Rs 30 lakh.
Varun had urged the court to treat his case as urgent but Sun Pictures had already filed a caveat to protect the release of 'Sarkar'. The court has agreed to hear the case today and by evening it will become clear what the decision is.
