Sasikumar's Ayothi Story Plagiarism Issue Solved? Writer Mathavraj Assures ‘It Was Taken From My Article’

Writer Mathavraj has announced that there has been a smooth solution to the story plagiarism issue of actor Sasikumar-starrer Ayodhya.

Mathavraj's position is that the story of Ayodhya is his. It is alleged that the writer S Ramakrishnan gave this story to the Ayothi film crew claiming it as his own.

Various discussions were held on social media regarding this. In this situation, the writer Mathavraj had posted on his Facebook page. "It was reported that the director of Ayothi wanted to talk to me in person. Today in Chennai at Shastri Bhavan, I informed that I am coming to Chennai as there is a hearing on my gratuity case. I was contacted by the film crew this morning. A meeting was held with the film's producer Ravindran, director Manthira Moorthy and assistant director Sridhar in the presence of the Deputy Labor Commissioner Comrade Viswanathan PV who came with me on the case. He worked in our bank and was in trade union responsibilities.

We shared what happened on both sides. The producer spoke with great understanding which made the meeting meaningful and harmonious. I expressed my appreciation that this film is an important and necessary film. Director Manthira Moorrthy described the hard work and field work that went into this film.

It came to be known that the story given to director Manthira Moorthy by writer S Ramakrishnan was taken from an article I had written in 2011 in the Bank Workers Unity magazine and my 'Endless Pages'.

During the Ayothi movie release on OTT platform, I have requested that proper recognition should be given to Pandiyan Grama Bank Employees Sangham, its comrades Samuel Jyotikumar and Suresh Babu, who helped the North Indian family in real life. It was promised that arrangements would be made and recognition will be given to them.

I expressed my happiness to producer Ravindran and director Manthira Moorthy.

Thanks to all the people who supported and stood by this issue. Let's see. Hopes must come true."
