A Kozhikode court has issued a stay against the release of Mohanlal- Sreenivasan starrer Oru Naal Varum on a petition filed by KV Vijayan a school teacher alleging that it is plagiarized from his script.
The TK Rajiv Kumar directed film produced by Manianpillai Raju has been censored with a clean 'U' certificate and was due for release on May 7.
The petitioner KV Vijayan had worked as Jayaraj's assistant during the making of Gulmohar . He had met Sreenivasan last year and submitted the script, but it was rejected.
Later Vijayan had published it in book form as Ee Kaliveedil Ninnu. He came to know that Sreenivasan has 'lifted' his story when he read the synopsis of Oru Naal Varum in a popular film magazine.
The court has now summoned Sreenivasan, Director T K Rajiv Kumar and Producer Maniyan Pillai Raju to appear before it on May 31. Anyway Raju has smartly postponed the release of the film to June 25.
