Finally the city civil court opined that the film was indeed a copy of the novel and it is in favour of the novel writer Shyamaladevi. Speaking on this, she said, “Every character from the movie ‘Mr. Perfect’ was from my novel. I tried to contact producer ‘Dil’ Raju to seek a clarification back then but he wasn’t willing to meet me. So I approached court for justice.”
The court is yet to give its final verdict but directed the police to take appropriate action as per the copyright act.
‘Mr. Perfect’ was directed by Dasaradh and featured Kajal, Taapsee and Prakash Raj. Reacting to the court’s opinion, director Dasaradh denied that any wrong doing.
