Jawan Prevue Release: 4 Times When Director Atlee Was Accused Of PLAGIARISM

Jawan's Prevue, directed by Atlee Kumar, was released on Monday. With its release today, the Shah Rukh Khan-starring movie generated a tonne of talk and became a social media craze. Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi also play major parts in the movie, which is the first time SRK and the Tamil filmmaker have worked together.

Following the prevue release, movie aficionados saw several parallels between Shah Rukh Khan's appearance and the film Jawan and classics like The Dark Knight, Baahubali, and Aparichit.

For the uninitiated, filmmaker Atlee has already faced plagiarism accusations. More than three times, actually. It's true what you read. Let's look at 4 instances in which Atlee was accused of plagiarism as Jawan Prevue was just released today.

Bigil

Bigil is Thalapathy 63rd film. Nayanthara and Vijay are the main actors in the 2019 release. The story of the movie is about a violent young guy who abandons his ambition to play football following the death of his father. According to rumours, Shiva's short film about a women's football squad served as the inspiration for Bigil's plot. The Writer's Association received a complaint from filmmaker Shiva as well.

Mersal

Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Thalapathy Vijay played the leads in the Atlee-directed movie from 2017. The director was charged of plagiarising Rajinikanth's Moondru Mugam's plot. Atlee and Vijay collaborated once more on Mersal. The plot centres on a doctor who is wrongfully imprisoned for the murder of a colleague.

Raja Rani

Raja Rani is Atlee's first feature film as a filmmaker and stars Nayanthara, Jai, and Arya in the key roles. Fans discovered parallels between Raja Rani and Mouna Ragam after the film's premiere. Regina and John, who were pushed into marriage and had rocky lives, are the subject of the narrative.

Theri

Theri is Atlee Kumar's second movie and stars Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Thalapathy Vijay. The 2016 movie tells the tale of a DCP who goes underground to protect her daughter. After her life encounters difficulties, things become bad. Atlee was charged with plagiarising Vijaykanth's movie Chatriyan.
