Stumped
is almost ready to hit cinema screens across the country, a stray throw has referred the fate of the movie to the third umpire, so to speak.

D Sajeev of Fatima Mata National College alleges that the film produced by Tandon is based on the theme of an article he published in the campus page of a Malayalam daily in 1999. He asserts that movie is a literal imitation of his work with some variations, and further goes on to substantiate it with evidence that Raveena had acknowledged in a film magazine that she came across the theme for
Stumped
in a regional language publication.
Judge K Chenthamarakshan has given the actress, director and production company 15 days to respond to the notice for alleged violation of the Copyright Act (1957).
