Ilayathalapathy
Vijay's
latest
outing
Thalaivaa
has
hit
the
screens
in
Tamil
Nadu
after
clearing
several
hurdles.
The
movie
faced
many
legal
hassles
just
two
days
before
its
release,
but
the
makers
have
cleared
that
the
movie
is
original
and
it
is
neither
a
copy
nor
based
on
any
real-life
story.
On
August
7,
director
AL
Vijay
and
producer
Chandraprakash
Jain
received
a
legal
notice
from
City
Civil
Court,
Chennai.
The
petitioner
SKR
Karnan
claimed
that
the
movie
depicted
his
grandfather
and
father
in
the
poor
light.
Director
AL
Vijay,
who
appeared
before
the
court
today
(August
27)
stated
that
the
Thalaivaa
is
an
original
story
and
it
is
not
based
on
any
person's
life.
Karnan
had
claimed
that
Sathyaraj
and
Vijay's
role
in
the
movie
depicts
his
grandfather
SS
Kandaswamy
and
father
SK
Ramaswamy
who
lived
in
Dharavi
area
Mumbai.
The
director
said,
"The
incidents
and
matters
mentioned
by
Karnan
in
his
application
are
totally
contradictory
to
the
main
story,
screenplay,
dialogues,
scenes,
characters
and
incidents
exhibited
in
the
film."
AL
Vijay
added,
"It
is
pure
imagination
and
fiction,
and
did
not
portray
any
individual's
life.
Half
the
movie
happens
in
Australia,
which
has
absolutely
no
relevance
to
the
real
life
story
of
the
applicant's
father
and
grandfather."
Vijay
also
cleared
that
there
is
no
resemblance
to
the
life
of
the
petitioner's
kin
and
neither
Thalaivaa
is
set
in
Mumbai
nor
Dharavi.
However,
the
City
Civil
Court
has
reserved
its
orders
in
the
case.
