Director Sanal Kumar Sasidharan accuses Mohanlal's 'Thudarum': ‘They stole the skeleton of my story'; shares post
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Filmmaker Sanal Kumar Sasidharan has come forward with allegations against the makers of the Mohanlal starrer 'Thudarum', directed by Tharun Moorthy. In a detailed Facebook post, Sanal claimed that the core idea and structure of 'Thudarum' were lifted from a script he wrote in 2020, titled 'Theeyattam'. While the storyline has been modified, Sanal believes the original foundation of his work remains evident throughout the film. 'They stole the skeleton of my story' 'I watched the film 'Thudarum'. It is essentially a theft of the core idea from a script I wrote back in 2020 titled 'Theeyattam'. The film has been made by stealing the skeleton of my story,' Sanal wrote. Kannappa - Official Kannada Trailer He further added, 'Since they either lacked the insight to grasp its essence or deliberately chose not to include it in a way that could be recognized, the soul of the original remains intact and untouched.' Sanal explained that 'Theeyattam' centers around the story of Ambi, an autorickshaw driver who gets wrongly implicated in the brutal murder and beheading of a man found in his vehicle. According to him, this core plot has been replicated in Thudarum without any credit or acknowledgment. A lifted dialogue and forgotten conscience? Sanal pointed out that a specific line from his original screenplay—'If you kill, it's a sin; if you eat, it's cleansed'—has appeared in 'Thudarum', despite having no contextual relevance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

That's what this dialogue's inclusion felt like,' he stated. 'Will be publishing screenplay soon' Sanal also revealed that a major production house had once agreed to produce Theeyattam, with actors like Manju Warrier, Tovino Thomas, Murali Gopy, and Sudheer Karamana reading the script. 'Given that five years have passed, it's possible they may have forgotten,' he wrote, adding, 'I will be publishing my screenplay here soon.'
