Kaduva
and
SG
250,
the
upcoming
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
project,
and
Suresh
Gopi's
250th
outing
in
Malayalam
cinema,
have
been
making
headlines
recently,
with
the
legal
battle
between
the
makers.
Now,
Tomichan
Mulakupadam,
the
producer
of
SG
250,
has
lashed
out
against
the
makers
Kaduva,
in
a
recent
interview
given
to
a
popular
Malayalam
daily.
In
the
interview,
the
producer
stated
that
the
Kaduva
team
has
created
unnecessary
controversy
by
alleging
plagiarism
and
filing
a
lawsuit
against
SG
250.
According
to
Tomichan
Mulakupadam,
the
legal
battle
was
totally
unnecessary,
if
the
character
Kaduvakunnel
Kuruvachan
and
his
story
were
originally
developed
by
the
senior
writer
Renji
Panicker.
The
producer
alleged
that
Kaduva
team
has
even
misled
the
honorable
judiciary,
by
claiming
that
the
character
and
story
are
developed
by
the
writer
of
the
project,
Jinu
Abraham.
Tomichan
Mulakupadam
even
accused
that
the
makers
of
the
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
starrer
decided
to
move
legally,
only
after
the
teaser
of
SG
250
earned
immense
popularity
and
took
social
media
by
storm.
In
the
interview,
Tomichan
Mulakupadam
also
revealed
that
the
script
of
SG
250
is
penned
by
Shibin
Francis
from
the
USA,
not
by
the
director
Mathew
Thomas
as
Jinu
Abraham
stated
in
his
lawsuit.
A
few
portions
of
the
movie
was
filmed
in
December
2019,
and
those
visuals
are
used
in
the
first
teaser
that
was
released
on
Suresh
Gopi's
birthday.
Coming
to
Kaduva,
lead
actor-co-producer
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
has
not
reacted
to
the
controversies
surrounding
the
two
projects
yet.
However,
Shaji
Kailas,
the
director
of
the
movie
had
recently
revealed
that
Prithviraj
is
playing
a
fictional
character
in
the
movie.
The
senior
filmmaker
has
also
confirmed
that
Kaduva
is
not
based
on
real-life
incidents.
