Producer Ramesh had sought the remake rights
of this film in Kannada which was refused by Vikraman.
Meanwhile a Kannada film titled Krishna was produced
by Ramesh and was released last month. Interestingly
this film is reported to be copy of Unnai Ninaithu
letteratim. A visibly shocked Vikraman says, “As
producer Ramesh had asked the Kannada remake rights
of Unnai Ninaithu at a rate that was not acceptable
to me, I declined his offer. Then they started
threatening me stating that if rights are not
given, they would go ahead and copy the film and
further more, even challenged me to do whatever
I can.” Vikraman also adds that despite
complaining to the producer’s council, Ramesh
has lifted his story and has made the film in
Kannada. As a course of further action he has
plans to sue the producer and director of Krishna.
