Priya Prakash Varrier's viral wink copied?
Priya Prakash Varrier - the name has become very popular lately, thanks to her famous wink in the song, Manikya Malaraya Poovi from the Malayalam movie Oru Adaar Love.
The video went viral making Priya Prakash Varrier an internet sensation within a matter of few hours.
Apart from hogging the headlines, trend charts and ruling the social media, the 18-year-old also landed in legal trouble after a case was filed in Hyderabad against the lyrics of her song claiming that they ‘hurt religious sentiments' of a group of Muslims.
However, the Supreme Court stayed the criminal charges against her.
While everyone assumed that the controversy was done and out, another one surfaced. The makers of forthcoming Malayalam film Kidu dropped a DI clip of from their project which shows the same backdrop of a teenage couple converse through facial expressions as Omar Lulu's Oru Adaar Love.
Speculations rose that the director of Kidu, Majeed Abu had copied the scene from Omar Lulu's film.
Clarifying the same, he stated in a video message that the shooting and editing for his film were completed way before Oru Adaar Love - November 25 (2017) adding that in January first week, the editing was done.
He further shared that Achu Vijayan started to work on Oru Adaar Love only after finishing their film so they should be the ones to accuse of copying the idea.
The director went on to say that he didn’t take any action prior to this as they don’t want to make a big issue out of it.
