96 Movie Story

Just when A. R. Murgadoss has denied charges of plagiarising the story of Sarkar, another director has been accused of a similar issue. Prem Kumar, the director of 96′, has been accused of plagiarising the story, which is allegedly written by director Bharathiraja‘s assistant Suresh. To speak about the issue director Prem Kumar spoke to the media today. Other directors including Marudhupandian, Thiagarajan Kumararaja, and Balaji Tharaneetharan offered support by being present at the meet.

Prem Kumar said ”The first allegation came when someone took to their social media account to say that it is his story and that he narrated it to the producer first. His allegation was that how can a cameraman write a story and direct a film. It was an absurd allegation. Late director Balumahendra was a skilled technician and a wonderful story writer who went on to direct films. So how can he say it’s not possible. Now, someone gave an interview to a media house stating that 96 is his film. How can two people accuse me?”

He went on to challenge them to bring evidence and asking them to show the orginal story they have drafted,  He said ”showing location stills, and attendance register of a school is not evidence. Show me the script”.

He also went on to say that although the film is doing well, he is unhappy because of these allegations. He said he wrote the story in 2015 and registered it in 2016. He even brought books where he has written the rough draft of the film.

Starring Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha in lead roles, 96′ released in October 2018.
