Chennai based producer K. Rajashekaran filed a petition against the makers of Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Kaala Karikaalan alleging that the “title, knot & story of Kaala Karikaalan absolutely belonged” to his company GSR Vinmeen Creations. A city court on Friday issued a notice asking Rajinikanth, the makers of Kaala Karikaalan & also the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce to submit their replies by 15th Jun, 2017. K. Rajashekaran, owner of GSR Vinmeen Creations, said that the title Karikaalan was already registered by him with the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce. He’s accused the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce of misusing the rules by not renewing his title registration to “favour some influential persons & disfavouring indigent persons”. Rajashekaran stated in his petition that he intended to make a film on Chola emperor Karikalan and that he had narrated the story to Rajinikanth Fans Association leader Sathyanarayana. Rajashekaran also said that another dispute over the film’s title was pending in the city civil court. Therefore, the producers are using the name illegally. Rajashekaran sought an interim injunction restraining the makers to shoot the film. Kaala Karikaalan is produced by Wonderbar Films & directed by Pa. Ranjith (helmer of Rajinikanth’s Kabali).
