This is the first time ever in India to attach assets under the PMLA on grounds of plagiarism or copyright violation while making a movie. The ED attached 3 immovable properties registered in the name of S. Shankar with a total value of ₹10.11 crore on 17th February.
Aarur Taminadan, author of a story titled Jiguba filed a complaint against Shankar allegeing the Tamil movie Enthiran’s storyline was copied from Juguba. Enhiran was released in 2010 featuring Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai in the main lead. The movie grossed ₹290 crore worldwide.
