Is Director Shankar upset with Koratala Siva of Devara
or Siruthai Siva of Kanguva ? In a tweet he threatens legal action against some
recent films that have ben lifting profusely from the book written by Su
Venatesan’s book Vel Paari. Shankar has bought the rights. Some say that
Shankar is angry with Kanguva director for using many situations in the novel
and some found their way in the trailor. Others say the timing of the post
coming soon after Devara trailor shows that Koratala Siva has liberally used
from the book. Only after release of Devara can we know and the tweet by Shankar is to warn Siva from
lifting more from the book for the second part.
Kanguva is a fictional character and a Tamil warrior and could this film
be the culprit. Here again a sequel is on the cards.
One post said - Su Venkatesan is a Telugu person and his main agenda is to
speak or write against Tamil history. Another felt - But Director
Shankar loves to portray historic Tamil characters in negative light in all of
his movies. Eg. Angavai Sangavai, Panjavan Paari vendhan etc. This is exactly
why this director has chosen to make Velpaari novel, which denigrates a Tamil
King, into a movie.
Paari Salaan writes; Do not use historical names from Tamil history in
fictional stories, especially if intended to portray them negatively. The
entire novel written by Su. Venketesh Naidu portrays the Tamil kings—Chera,
Chola, and Pandya—in a negative light, which is historically inaccurate. It
falsely accuses them of a genocide that never occurred.
