Director Sathyan Anthikkad accused of plagiarism!


Leading writers and directors in Malayalam cinema have off late been accused of plagiarism. The latest to be hit by accusation of stealing the story written by a novelist is noted hit maker Sathyan Anthikad.

Leading novelist and journalist Hamsa Alunkal has alleged that Sathyan’s latest hit Katha Thudaranu is “a straight lift from his novel Mazha Thorathe. Hamsa says that his novel which was published more than a year back tells the story of a Christian woman who had married a Muslim man who gets accidentally killed and how she faces life.

Hamsa Alunkal’s novel seems to be the basic thread of Sathyan Anthikad’s Katha Thudaranu. Hamsa is sure to take Sathyan to court, unless he is settled out of court.

Meanwhile Sathyan says: '' I will definitely read this novel, and see if there is any similarity with my film, then take a call.”
