Chennai: Just a day after Director Shankar announced his maiden collaboration with Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh to remake the Vikram-starrer Anniyan/Aparichit, trouble has mounted for the project. In a strongly worded statement, Anniyan’s Producer V Ravichandran has stated that the film’s story rights belong to him and that the records are available for the same. He urged Shankar to stop work on the project with immediate effect, saying that he is also sending a legal notice to Shankar.
Anniyan is a 2005 Action-thriller in Tamil, starring Vikram, Sadha, Prakash Raj and Vivek. The plot revolves around Ambi, a socially-conscious and straight-forward lawyer and his woes with corruption and lack of empathy among the public.
