Kaala movie poster
While the shooting for Kaala has been progressing at a brisk pace, the makers are now facing a new hurdle.
A complaint has been filed with the Chennai City Commissioner of Police by one, K Rajasekaran, who alleges that the title and the core theme of the film were stolen from him. In the complaint, he has alleged that he had written a script for Rajinikanth in 1995, titled Karikaalan, and that he even met Rajinikanth, who’d assured him that they could discuss about the project later.
Rajesekaran says he had registered the title Karikaalan with the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce, and when there was an attempt to make a film with that title starring Vikram, he filed a complaint and ensured that the film didn’t materialise. The makers of Kaala were unavailable for comment on this issue.
