Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi denies plagiarism

Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi���s debut film as a director 'Vanakkam Chennai' under their family banner Red Giant Movies has come under criticism alleging that the film is a blatant copy of a yesteryear flick.

Reports say her movie resembles the 1955 movie 'Missamma', which had the likes of Savithri and Gemini Ganesan in lead roles.Denying the rumours Kiruthiga said "I don���t concede to these facts. They are just rumors. I have been a student of literature and during college I used to pen down many short stories. Vanakam Chennai is one among them. There should be no doubt about its authenticity."
