Burrows is the first film directed by Mohanlal. This one reason alone is enough for Malayalees to wait for this movie. At the same time, the release of this movie is still uncertain. It is said that it will come on Vishu and Onam, but it does not come. The last word is that it will come on Christmas. It remains to be seen whether the release will be changed.
At the same time, a petition has come up in the court demanding to stop the release of this movie. George Thundiparampil, an expatriate Indian, has now filed a complaint in the Ernakulam District Court demanding that the release of the film be banned. The full title of the movie is Burroughs – Guardian of the Gamma’s Treasure. He alleges that this film is a copyright infringement of his novel.
The case has now been filed against director and actor Mohanlal, Jijo Punnoos and TK Rajeev Kumar. He has settled in Germany. At the same time, a large number of people are accusing that this is just a publicity stunt, but a small number of people are supporting him.
In July 2024, he had sent a legal notice to four people, including Mohanlal, asking them to resolve the copyright issue. He demanded that the makers should stay away from the release of the film until the issue is resolved. The paper was issued on 11th August. The lawyer has denied the copyright infringement in his reply to the notice. But he claims that this film is a copy of his work. At the same time, the audience is asking how he can claim that the film, which no one has seen yet, is a copy of his novel. Mohanlal’s fans are saying, “Don’t come up with such a strange argument, bro.”
