Director Shankar who got a big relief from Indian 2 controversy has landed in yet another controversy. This time he faced issues with his upcoming venture, the Hindi remake of his hit Anniyan.
As a big trouble for the remake, producer Aascar Ravichandran, who bankrolled the original version had decided to knock on the doors to stop the film from hitting the floors, reports say.
As per the reports, the producer said that he holds the rights of Anniyan and without him giving a green signal, no one can remake the hit film. He is moving the court against Shankar and Jayantilal Gada, who will produce the remake.
It is also said that a complaint against the issue was placed before the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce (SIFFCC) already and the reaction from the Film Chamber is awaited.
Ravichandran said, he is the author of the film and Shankar was s director of the film and he possesses no right to remake the film.
The Hindi remake of Anniyan with Ranveer Singh as the lead role was announced amid much fanfare. Even before the crew had hit the floors, the film attracted a big controversy.
