Why is ED after Director Shankar ?
Why is ED going after Director Shankar in the copyright case filed over the Rajini's Enthiran 2.0 story ?. We had published the statement from Shankar read ; https://dhakshinscreen.blogspot.com/2025/02/shankae-says-ed-attachment-legal-abuse.html. Our legal team has asked that if ED is overriding High Court judgements and stay order and taken the extra effort to get a report from Pune based Film Institute by sending both te matieral= novel by Arur Tamilnandan and Shankar’s script to get a opinion, there should be a political reason. So far we have seen that ED has acted in most cases on political diktat. Whose toes has Shankar stepped on ?. Long back, Shankar directed Muthalvan had irked M Karunanidhi and it was said that in retaliation, all cable network let loose pirated version of the film, finally it was said that Vairamuthu took Shankar to MK and a peace brokered. After that there was nothing much in his later films. Even the latest Game Changer had nothing that irked BJP.
Most ironical part is that the copyright complaintant is working in Nakheeran that is pro DMK. I am not sure about this but if true, ED should have arrested the complainant instead. Probing further, Indian 3 is funded by Red Giant and Lyca. Now the film has Kamal as hero. So Red Giant ( Udhayanidhi Stalin) + Kamal Haasan is red flag to BJP and added to it has Shankar spiced up the film with anti Centre dialogues and scenes ? Shankar has bought the rights of the book Velpari written by Madurai MP Venkatesan who is CPM member., All this looks like enough reason.
Shankar says except for the media releases from ED, his properties have not faced any action nor has he got any notice. The complaintant asked for Rs 1 crore as compensation but ED has by its statement attached Rs 10 crore worth assests. Why should ED come into a film copyright case > Writer had given a complaint to ED and the copyright case comes under financial crime. The ED recovers assets from economic criminals and compensates victims of financial crimes. So Shankar is an economic criminal as per ED. What a shame 1 The man who through Indian created Indian thaata that fought corruption tooth ,and nail is a economic criminal. Anyway Shankar should go to court to clear this black mark. Already as Director post Game Changer, his stock is low. Meanwhile Lyca has given up on third part as Shankar is asking for a bomb to complete the film. Red Giant will have to enter the arena
