In his suit, the plaintiff submitted that it had produced a Kannada film titled “Parivara” in 2013 and obtained censor certificate also in December, 2013. But the film could not be released due to financial problems. When it arranged a preview show to the distributors and friends at that time, Gopi Nainar also saw the film and appreciated the plaintiff. While so, the plaintiff was shocked to see the Tamil film “Aramm”, a replica of “Parivara”. Gopi Nainar had copied the Kannada version of his film without obtaining any rights or permission from the plaintiff. The film “Aramm” has been released in Karnataka also. Therefore, the plaintiff has filed the present suit, the plaintiff added.
