Petition against Boss - Sivaji

A second petition has been filed in the City Civil Court, Chennai, seeking an interim stay against dubbing or remaking of Rajinikanth-starrer "Sivaji: The Boss" in other languages pending disposal of the original petition which alleged that the story of the film was plagiarized

Sudalaikannu alias Jayarajdevan has filed both the petitions. He has stated in his second petitions that he has already moved the City Civil Court with a plea that the story of "Sivaji" belonged to him. He has sought appropriate relief. This petition is still pending disposal. The court has directed notice to the producers of the film.

But even while the petition is pending, moves are afoot to dub or remake the film in other languages, including Hindi. Japanese, Chinese and Malaysian versions are also being planned, petitioner claimed.

The petitioner has prayed that the court should grant an interim stay against the dubbing or remaking of the film till his original petition is disposed of.
