Kaduva,
the
upcoming
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
starrer
and
SG
250,
action
star
Suresh
Gopi's
250th
film,
has
been
making
headlines
recently
with
the
legal
battle
between
the
makers.
In
the
recent
interview
given
to
a
popular
media,
Jinu
Abraham,
the
writer
of
Kaduva
finally
opened
up
about
the
controversy,
and
what
prompted
him
to
move
legally
against
SG
250.
The
Kerala
high
court
had
ordered
a
stay
on
the
shooting
and
promotional
activities
of
the
Suresh
Gopi
starrer,
for
the
alleged
violation
of
copyright
laws.
According
to
Kaduva
writer
Jinu
Abraham,
the
name
of
Prithviraj
Sukumaran's
character
in
the
movie
is
'Kaduvakunnel
Kuruvachan'.
The
script
is
also
registered
in
the
same
name.
But
the
team
later
decided
to
change
the
name
to
Kaduva,
since
the
other
team
members
including
co-producer
Listin
Stephen
preferred
a
short
and
catchy
name.
Shockingly,
the
first
motion
poster
of
SG
250,
which
was
released
on
Suresh
Gopi's
birthday,
revealed
that
the
action
star's
character
in
the
project
is
also
named
'Kaduvakunnel
Kuruvachan'.
According
to
Jinu
Abraham,
apart
from
the
name
of
the
protagonist,
the
premise
of
the
movie
including
the
announcement
in
the
motion
poster
which
suggests
that
the
hero
has
beaten
up
a
police
officer,
and
the
poster
which
features
the
hero
sitting
on
the
hood
of
a
police
jeep,
looks
the
exact
copy
of
the
sequences
in
the
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
starrer.
The
writer
also
revealed
that
Mathew
Thomas,
the
writer-director
of
SG
250
was
his
close
associate
from
2011,
and
he
had
discussed
several
story
ideas
and
scripts
with
him.
The
scenarist
also
made
it
clear
that
there
is
no
bad
blood
between
Kaduva
and
SG
250
teams,
considering
the
director
of
the
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
starrer,
Shaji
Kailas,
is
a
close
friend
of
Suresh
Gopi.
Jinu
Abraham
added
that
he
moved
legally,
as
he
is
answerable
to
his
producers
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
and
Listin
Stephen,
and
director
Shaji
Kailas.
He
concluded,
stating
that
the
makers
of
the
Suresh
Gopi
starrer
can
definitely
proceed
with
the
shooting
of
the
movie,
if
the
copyright
violation
doesn't
exist.
