Vikram caught in a fix

Irked that the actor���s name has been dragged into the title issue, Karikalan���s producers plan to file a defamation suit.
Acivil court in the city had ordered an interim stay on Karikalan���s filming after K S Rajasekaran, aka, Nagaraj sent a notice to the team alleging that the film���s story and title were his. The court had also issued summons to its makers and hero Vikram.But, now, the producers of the film are planning to file a defamation suit against Rajasekaran for involving Vikram���s name in this issue.
When CT got in touch with S S Vasan, one of the film���s producers, he said that it is grossly unfair to drag Vikram���s name in this issue. ���It is understandable when the producer and the director are issued summons in such a case. But, involving an actor in such a case is unfair. He is not part of both the script and title registration process,��� he says. He reveals that Vikram had spoken to him about the issue, and feels that this has caused mental agony for his hero. ���It brings down his reputation and we are consulting our lawyers about filing a defamation suit,��� he claims.
Stating that they have adequate proof to argue their case, he says, ���We have the documents declaring approval of the title from the producers��� council, the producers��� guild and the film chamber. They have a monthlong verification process during which they crosscheck whether the title applied for has already been registered or if there is any litigation over it.��� The producer says the next schedule of shooting will probably begin by next month once the legal issues and the FEFSI wage issues are sorted out.
