Karthik Subbaraj in plagiarism row

Pizza and Jigarthanda director Karthik Subbaraj is facing plagiarism allegations from journalist and aspiring filmmaker Ajayan Bala. Last week, Amazon Prime released an anthology titled Putham Pudhu Kaalai. Ajayan Bala claimed that Putham Pudhu Kaalai’s last segment’s short film titled ‘Miracle’ which has been directed by Karthik Subbaraj has been copied from his work titled ‘Sachin Cricket Club’ which was released on YouTube. He further explained that due to the coronavirus pandemic, the short film got delayed but after the post production work was completed, it was uploaded on YouTube.

karthik subbaraju Bala said that both the story had striking similarities barring only a few changes. According to him, his film contained 10 characters and was set during the day but Putham Pudhu Kaalai’s ‘Miracle’ contained only two characters and was set entirely during the night. Bala added that “Apart from that, the crux of the story is that greediness will lead to more loss, doing a wrong deed for the need of money will lead to losing the money in hand and the climax portion of revealing that the money is fake is all the same as my story”. A response from Karthik Subbaraj is awaited, will Ajayan go the legal way is yet to be seen.
