Vijays Sarkar gets embroiled in plagiarism controversy

In yet another blow to the upcoming Tamil film Sarkar, the South Indian Film Writers Association confirmed that Sarkar is similar to that of Varun Rajendrans Sengol script. The highly anticipated movie has been mired in controversy after Varun Rajendran accused Director AR Murugadoss of plagiarising his script.

In a complaint filed to the association after Sarkars teaser was out, Varun Rajendran claimed that Murugadoss had copied the script of Sengol, and requested the association to investigate. The South Indian film Writers Association put out a statement today stating that after review, the scripts are indeed similar and their support lies with Varun Rajendran.
