Shankar shared photos with Ranveer Singh as they held discussions about the film. Now, the producer of Anniyan has sent an open letter, where he accused Shankar of copying and the main plot. In the letter, the producer V Ravichandran of Aaskar Films also urged Shankar to immediately stop proceeding with the remake.
He wrote, “I am utterly shocked to know that you are likely to undertake the direction of a Hindi film by adopting the story of the movie Anniyan. You are well aware that I am the producer of the movie. The entire story right was purchased by me from writer Sujatha for which full payment was done. I am the whole and sole owner of the rights. Any adaptation or remaking or copying the main plot is totally illegal.”
