We all know, two big players in indian cinema - ace director shankar and bollywood sensation ranveer singh - are teaming up for a reworking of Shankar's cult movie 'Anniyan,' which was released in 2005. Unfortunately, even before the cast has begun filming, the film has become embroiled in a public battle over the rights to the adaptation. Aascar Ravichandran financed the original blockbuster film, which was helmed by S Shankar.

V Ravichandran, Anniyan's producer, said previously this year that he owned the film's storey rights but that the paperwork for the same were accessible. He told shankar that he will be issuing him a legal letter and that he should cease working on the project immediately. "I am the maker of the aforementioned film Anniyan. I bought the complete storey directly from the creator Sujatha (a.k.a late Rangarajan) and paid him in full. As a result, without my consent, any such adoption, remake, or duplicating of the basic plot of the aforementioned film is completely prohibited "Ravichandran's statement should be read.

Ravichandran has elected to file a lawsuit linking shankar as well as Jayantilal Gada in madras High Court. The South indian Film Chamber of Commerce has received a complaint from Ravichandran (SIFFCC) The filmmaker has stated that he owns the rights to 'Anniyan,' and that no adaptation may be made without his permission. shankar took to social media to make the big announcement about his ranveer singh partnership.
