Shankar Defends Creative Rights, Addresses Scene Theft from ‘Veera Yuga Nayagan Vel Paari’ Novel
Shankar criticizes filmmakers for copying scenes from his novel ‘Veera Yuga Nayagan Vel Paari,’ warning of legal action against unauthorized adaptations.
Tamil cinema has long been known for its vibrant storytelling, and legendary director Shankar has played a significant role in shaping its narrative landscape. His recent film, ‘Indian 2,’ starring the iconic Kamal Haasan, unfortunately, did not meet expectations at the box office, being labeled a significant flop. This setback follows a string of mixed results from Shankar’s previous projects, raising questions about his directorial choices.
Despite the disappointment of ‘Indian 2,’ Shankar’s upcoming project, ‘Game Changer,’ featuring the talented Ram Charan, has generated considerable buzz. Originally slated for an earlier release, production delays have postponed its debut. However, the makers have confirmed that the film is set to release this December, rekindling interest among fans eager for a potential comeback.
Amidst this backdrop, Shankar recently made headlines with his comments regarding copyright violations. He claims that numerous filmmakers have copied scenes from the Tamil novel ‘Nava Yuga Nayagan Vel Paari,’ written by Venkatesan, without his permission. Shankar stated:
“Attention to all! As the copyright holder of Su. Venkatesan’s iconic Tamil novel "Veera Yuga Nayagan Vel Paari", I'm disturbed to see key scenes being ripped off & used without permission in many movies. Really upset to see important key scene from the novel in a recent movie trailer. Kindly refrain from using the scenes from the novel in movies, web series and any medium, Respect creators' rights! Refrain from Unauthorized adaptations of scenes, Refrain from infringement or face legal action! #VeeraYugaNayaganVelPaari #CopyrightProtection #FilmEthics.’’
Shankar's comments have led to significant discourse on intellectual property rights in the film industry. Fans are now left wondering if this could pave the way for an adaptation of ‘Nava Yuga Nayagan Vel Paari’, which would likely draw considerable attention. Social media is abuzz with theories about potential projects and their implications.
