The Tiger is the story of a young planter. It has nothing to do with Jose. Shaji Kailas said in an interview to national media that people are creating controversy without knowing it.
‘I know Jose. Ranji Panicker and I decided to make a film about him. But Jinu’s script is completely different. The kaduva is the story of a young planter. It has nothing to do with Jose. “People are creating controversy without knowing it,” said Shaji Kailas. Only he and Prithviraj have read the entire script of The kaduva. In fact, Jinu wrote the script for another director. When it did not happen, it came to him.
He also said that the character of Kaduvakkunnel Kuruvachan is purely fictional. Shaji Kailas reiterated that Jose has the right to take any action but both are two films.
Later, in a discussion with Ranji Panicker, it was decided to make Jose’s life into a movie. The film is produced by Ashirvad with Mohanlal in the lead role. Planter was the character of Kuruvachan. For some reason the movie didn’t happen. In an interview, director, actor and screenwriter Ranji Panicker said that the character of Kaduvakkunnel Kuruvachan was made in a film made for Mohanlal 20 years ago.
Ranji Panicker said that Kaduvakkunnel Kuruvachan is not a character creation of anyone and he is still living in Kottayam.
The first film to be announced was Kaduva, directed by Shaji Kailas and starring Prithviraj. The screenplay was by Jinu Abraham. The first look poster of the movie has also been released. After that, another film is announced as Suresh Gopi’s 250th film. The motion teaser of the movie directed by Mathews has been released.
However, Jinu Abraham has filed a case against the film alleging that his character was plagiarized. Subsequently, the court banned Suresh Gopi’s 250th film. Jinu has produced in court the documents showing that the name of the character, Kaduvakkunnel Kuruvachan, was registered under the Copyright Act.
The plaintiffs informed the court that all the scenes in the screenplay of the kaduva, including the grandson of the character, were registered separately. The documents were also produced in court. Considering this, the court banned Suresh Gopi’s film.
However, with the decision not to release the films without his permission, both the films came to a standstill when Kuruvinachan, the central character in the story, came on the scene. Earlier, Jose had said that he would like to play Suresh Gopi or Mohanlal himself when his life becomes a movie. He says that Ranji Panicker was verbally promised years ago to make his life a movie and therefore that will not change. The story is based on Kuruvachan’s legal battle with a high ranking official of the Kerala Police.
