Is Mohanlal's 'Neru' Releasing Tomorrow Amidst The Script Plagiarism Controversy?

Neru Script Plagiarism Controversy: In a recent development, the High Court issued directives concerning a plea alleging script plagiarism in the upcoming Mohanlal starrer 'Neru,' directed by Jeethu Joseph.

The bench, presided over by Justice Devan Ramachandran, has instructed notices to be sent to director Jeethu Joseph and the central government. However, the court refused to grant a stay on the movie's release, setting the stage for further legal proceedings. The hearing for the plea is scheduled to resume on Thursday.

The case was brought to light by writer Deepak Unni, coinciding with the impending release of the film on the 21st. Notably, actor and lawyer Santhi Mayadevi, alongside Jeethu Joseph, co-authored the script. Unni has alleged in his petition that the movie was produced by appropriating his story without due credit or compensation.

Unni's petition contends that Jeethu Joseph and Santhi Mayadevi acquired his story during a meeting held at a Kochi hotel three years ago, subsequently sidelining him from the film's production process.

'Neru' has been a subject of public interest since its announcement, notably reuniting the successful duo of Jeethu Joseph and Mohanlal, known for their previous hits such as 'Drishyam.' The movie, produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas, has garnered attention but now faces legal scrutiny due to these plagiarism allegations.

Neru Releases Tomorrow

Excitement is in the air as the much-anticipated film "Neru," directed by the acclaimed Jeethu Joseph and featuring the legendary Mohanlal in the lead role, is set to release tomorrow.

The movie, titled Neru, is accompanied by the intriguing tagline "Seeking Justice." Industry insiders suggest that "Neru" is poised to be a gripping courtroom suspense thriller, adding another layer of intrigue to its narrative.

"Neru" marks the fifth venture between the dynamic duo of Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph, following the successful projects "Drishyam-1," "Drishyam-2," "Twelfth Man," and the eagerly awaited "Ram."

Penned by Santhi Mayadevi and Jeethu Joseph, the screenplay is under tight wraps, promising an engaging and intriguing storyline. The film is being produced under the prestigious banner of Aashirvad Cinemas, helmed by Antony Perumbavoor, bringing together a powerhouse of talent to create cinematic magic.

'Neru' is the 33rd film from Aashirvad Cinemas. As "Neru" unfolds, Satheesh Kurup takes charge of the cinematography, while the musical landscape is crafted by Vishnu Shyam.

The trailer for 'Neru' showcases the powerhouse pairing of Mohanlal and director Jeethu Joseph. This intense courtroom drama immerses viewers in the world of Vijayamohan, a lawyer portrayed by Mohanlal thrust into the challenge of defending an accused individual in a high-stakes trial.

The trailer tantalises with glimpses of a probing investigation set in Thiruvananthapuram, suggesting the accused's presence near the incident site the day prior. Amidst escalating tension, Vijayamohan reluctantly embraces the case, admitting to his waning confidence after a prolonged absence from legal proceedings, stating, "I am not confident anymore." The trailer unfolds to reveal Vijayamohan's immersive journey through the trial, confronting scrutiny and self-doubt.

With an unexpected turn of events, the narrative reaches a gripping climax within a Kerala courtroom, promising compelling and relentless courtroom sequences that stretch into the night. The Neru trailer has garnered exceptional acclaim, sparking widespread anticipation for the Mohanlal-Jeethu Joseph magic to captivate audiences once again on the silver screen.
