This AR Murugadoss – Vijay film, merely days before its release, was embroiled in a rather dramatic face-off. Writer Varun Rajendran, who filed a plagiarism complaint against the film earlier in 2018, filed a case against the team with the Madras High Court. He alleged that Murugadoss’ film is a copy of his story ‘Sengol’ and believed that Murugadoss plagiarised the script to make his high-budgeted film. Incidentally, this isn’t the first Murugadoss is facing plagiarism charges. Back when his film ‘Kaththi’ was slated to release, a filmmaker named Gopi Nainar, who eventually went on to make the blockbuster ‘Aramm’, slapped charges against Murugadoss for stealing his script. He later withdrew his allegations, which lead to ‘Kaththi’ releasing and becoming a hit. Another filmmaker had posed similar allegations against Murugadoss shortly after ‘Kaththi’ was announced.
