Hyderabad, India – Renowned Indian filmmaker Shankar, known for his blockbuster films in the Tamil film industry, has publicly condemned the unauthorized use of key scenes from his acquired novel, “Veera Yuga Nayagan Vel Paari.” The director, who has been a pioneer in message-oriented commercial cinema, took to social media to express his frustration over the blatant infringement of copyright.
Shankar, who is currently gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated film “Game Changer,” emphasized that he holds the copyright to the novel and has been disturbed to see crucial scenes being lifted and used without permission in multiple movies. He specifically mentioned being upset by a recent movie trailer that featured a significant scene directly from his novel.
The director’s statement has sparked widespread speculation among fans and industry insiders regarding the identity of the film in question. While the trailers of both “Kanguva” and “Devara” have recently been released, netizens are leaning towards “Devara” as a potential culprit. The film’s story, set against a coastal backdrop and featuring different communities, aligns with the themes and setting of Shankar’s novel. However, with “Kanguva” also being a possibility, the definitive answer remains unclear until the film’s release on 27th.
Shankar’s strong stance against copyright infringement serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting creators’ rights and the consequences of unauthorized adaptations. As the controversy unfolds, it is expected that further details and clarifications will emerge, shedding light on the specific movie that has crossed the line.
