We have some time ago reported that a Tamil writer named Rajasekhar had moved the High Court alleging that Superstar Rajinikanth, director Pa. Ranjith, and Dhanush, the producer of “Kaala”, stole his script as well as title to make a film named ‘Kaala’.
In his petition, he claimed that the script of Kaala has been plagiarized from a story that he had narrated to Rajinikanth a few years ago. He even swore to have registered the title, Karikaalan, to make the film with Rajini. He rued that Kaala is being made with little modifications to his script and title.
The court had then asked Dhanush, Rajinikanth and Ranjith to respond to the complaint. In response, Dhanush filed a reverse petition seeking the court to dismiss the case as a publicity stunt, arguing that their script is completely authentic and is vastly different from that of the complainant’s.
Following this, the court directed Rajasekhar to produce proofs backing his claims against Rajinikanth, and the writer has reportedly submitted some documents related to the story and a few photographs taken while narrating his script to Rajinikanth.
The next hearing in this case is scheduled to 8th August. If court finds Rajasekhar’s claims to be true, makers of Kaala will have to pay hefty compensation to him.
