Emthiran (Robo) story controversy

The makers of  blockbuster Enthiran (Robot) are definitely under fire!

After a Tamil writer Aroor Tamilnadan aka Amudha Tamilnadan filed a complaint with the Chennai Police Commissioner, claiming that the original story of Enthiran was lifted right out of his short story 'Jughiba', veteran Telugu novelist Mynampati Bhaskar came forward with a similar claim, alleging that the movie is a direct lift from his novel 'Budhi Jeevi', published in 1984.

The Telugu author, who claimed that the makers have copied even the jokes and dialogues from his novel, has already sent a legal notice to producer Kalanidhi Maran of Sun Pictures, director Shankar and hero Rajinikanth. The latest buzz is that Mynampati is demanding a 'mere' Rs. 50 lakhs as compensation for his story and Tamilnadan is demanding double the amount - 1 crore.
