Ever since the trailer of Netflix film Project Power dropped, comparisons have been drawn to Vikram's film, Iru Mugan since both protagonists have to deal with what happens when a miracle drug that acts in special ways within five minutes of it being consumed is in the fray.
However, Shibu Thameens, who produced the film, has laid to rest the rumours and said that he hadn't sold the film's remake rights to anyone.
He tweeted: We haven’t sold the remake rights to any Global/Regional languages of #ChiyaanVikram’s #IRUMUGAN produced by
@shibuthameens directed by @anandshank. Hope this will clear the social media confusions & comparisons with @iamjamiefoxx #ProjectPower by @netflix @NetflixIndia (sic)
