Ilayathalapathy Vijay’s Kaththi directed by Murugadoss dealt with an important social issue. The film was well received by the audience and now it is going to be made in Telugu with Chiranjeevi reprising Vijay’s role.
In Tamil, the film was mired in controversy before its release as an individual claimed the story to be his. Now it looks like there is an encore of the event in Telugu too, when a writer by name Narasimha Rao alleges that the story is his and that he does not want the pre-production work of the film to begin unless he has been duly credited. Further details on this are awaited!
