Varun Rajendran, the aspiring director who claimed that the story of Vijay's Sarkar is the same that he wrote and registered in the writer's association 10 years back. Now the issue has been solved after AR Murugadoss agreed to add an appreciation note for Varun before the title card of Sarkar.
Here is what Varun had to say while addressing the press today:
"I did not want a ban on Sarkar, I didn't come to court to stop Sarkar's release. I just wanted due recognition. I wrote this story in 2004 for Vijay. When I approached director SA Chandrasekhar and tried to work with Vijay, the film did not materialize for some reason.
But SA Chandrasekhar sir is the whole reason for this protest. SAC sir is the one who taught me how to fight and I only fought for my recognition. I did not ask for a ban or seek any monetary benefits. All I wanted was a recognition and I am happy that Sarkar team is recognizing my contribution.
On the occasion of Diwali, I present my Sengol story as a gift to Vijay, Vijay fans and SAC sir's family. Thank You."
