Ajith - S J Suryah 's Vaalee already remade in Hindi- New twist to Boney Kapoor legal tangle

Why is Boney Kapoor buying Hindi remake rights of Tamil film ` Vaalee’ from NIC Arts Chakravarthy when it is already remade as Sheesha with Neha Dhupia and Sonu Sood ?. Mona Kapoor, first wife of Boney Kapoor, was the production coordinator of the film. Arjun Kapoor is her son. One of Film Producer’s is Guddu Dhanoa. It was released on February 11, 2005. The film credits show S J Suryah as story writer. The best part is that the film was dubbed into Tamil and released as `Adangathaval. The Tamil dubbed version credits S Baburaj as producer.  Madras High Court ruled in favour of Boney Kapoor who bought the rights from the producer Charkarvarthy. S J Suryah director- story writer challenged the purchase saying that he was the copyright owner as he is the creator of the film.

In some details like on the DVD cover, story is also credited to A Muthu. In the Hindi version, Ajith’s role was reversed. Heroine Neha played the dual role of sisters and Sonu Sood played the male lead. Muthu probably wrote this change for Hindi. Hindi film concentrated on Neha’s skin show and sultry scenes. It was directed by Ashu Trikha, who has directed Arjun Ramphal – Mithun Chakraborty films. His last release was Veerey Ki Wedding ( 2018) which had Jimmy Shergill in the cast.

Trade is wondering why Boney Kapoor instead of getting Hindi rights from Guddu got it from Chakravarthy ?. If Suryah name was already used as story writer of Seesha, then why did he not use this to prove his point in court ? As Hindi remake can be done with NIC Arts knowledge , Did Chakravarthy keep all involved in the loop about the Hindi remake rights ?. Guddu is cousin of actor Dharmendra and produced- directed films with Shah Rukh Khan – Sunny Deol- Akshay Kumar- Ajay Devgn. Currently he is directing Tamil film Singham 3 remake in Hindi with Thakoor Anoop Singh as hero. Thakoor played the baddie in Tamil film with Suriya as hero.
