Oru Naal Varum Release stayed


The Kozhikode District Court on Wednesday issued an injunction order till May 31 staying the release, distribution and screening of Mohanlal-Sreenivasan's much-awaited Oru Naal Varum, slated for release this Friday.

District judge M.P. Ismail issued the order on the basis of a petition moved by a teacher, K.V. Vijayan of the Don Bosco Institute, Mukkom, seeking a stay on the film as actor Sreenivasan had allegedly used the original script penned by K.V. Vijayan long ago. Summons have also been issued to the film's script writer Sreenivasan, director T.K. Rajeev Kumar and producer Manian Pillai Raju to appear before the court on May 31.

It is said that the script was handed over to Sreenivasan last year, who rejected it, saying it lacked comedy. Vijayan produced before the court a copy of the script published as a book in February and a copy of Sreenivasan's interview that had appeared in a magazine narrating the story of the film. Only lately had Vijayan come to know that a film had been made based on his story. Several film magazines had come out with the storyline of the film that had a resemblance to his script, he said in his petition.

It is noteworthy that Sreenivasan had earlier run into a controversy after Sathyendran Poyilkkavu, a resident of Koyilandy in Kozhikode, accused the actor of ‘stealing' his story for the hugely successful Katha Parayumbol, which was remade in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil.
