As
per the latest rumour that is doing its
rounds, Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu has been
directly lifted from a monthly crime novel
by Rajesh Kumar. Rajesh Kumar as everyone
would be aware of is a renowned Tamil
novelist whose forte is crime. He enjoys
a strong base of readership in Tamil Nadu
and is said to be the uncrowned king of
crime fiction.
One
of is novels by name ‘Uyir Piriyum
Neram’ seems to be the source
of inspiration for Gautham Menon who
has transformed the same to silver
screen in the name of ‘Vettaiyadu
Vilaiyadu’.
When people who have read the novel
in question and watched the film,
they were totally taken aback by the
similarity between the same. Sources
reveal that Gautham Menon has made
the film based on this novel without
informing Kamal. On the other hand,
Kamal seems to be in total darkness
regarding this.
There
are some Tamil novelists like Sujatha,
Suba and Pattukottai Prabhakar who have
worked out a strategy by offering their
novels for a price thereby earning money
as well as fame. Perhaps Rajesh Kumar
should take a cue from them. Since the
concerned parties have not come out in
the open, the matter is yet to take on
a larger proportion.
