Anniyan’s producer V Ravichandran calls out director Shankar for announcing Hindi remake with Ranveer Singh without his permission : Bollywood News

Ranveer Singh recently announced his association with director Shankar for the remake of Anniyan in Hindi. While this is the first time that Ranveer Singh will be collaborating with the director, it looks like the film has already landed itself in a legal soup. Anniyan’s producer V Ravichandran has called out Shankar for announcing the film without his permission and rendered it illegal. The producer has mentioned in his letter to the director that he is the sole owner of all the rights to the film’s script and making it in Hindi without his knowledge is nothing but illegal and unprofessional.

In the letter, 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 said movie Anniyan. The entire story rights was purchased by me from the writer Sujatha (alias late Rangarajan) for which the payments were done by me to him and necessary records are also available. I am the whole and sole owner of the rights of the storyline. As such, any such adoption or remaking or copying the main plot of the movie, without my permission, is totally illegal.”
