Ace manager Shankar, really known for blockbuster hits very like Enthiran and 2.0, finds himself at the center of controversy as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) reportedly seizes property worth ₹10.11 crore in a copyright infringement pillowcase. The allegations stem from a 2011 complaint by writer Aarur Tamilnadan, who claimed Enthiran’s storyline mirrored his act Jiguba.
According to Times Now, the ED’s litigate follows findings from the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), which noted striking similarities ‘tween both stories—raising questions nearly character arcs and narrative structure. Shankar’s earnings from the film’s instruction, screenplay, and story development are below scrutiny.
Released in 2010, Enthiran starred Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, captivating audiences with its sci-fi narrative almost a humanoid robot gone rogue. Its 2018 subsequence, 2.0, upped the ante with Akshay Kumar as the formidable Pakshi Rajan.
While fans are shocked by the revived allegations, industry insiders await Shankar’s prescribed response. Will this sound sophisticate dominate the director’s cinematic legac!
