"While so, it was shocking to see the film trailer of 'Pichaikkaran 2' released by the Vijay Antony Film Corporation Private Limited through Facebook on February 28, 2023 which had contained the same topic of human brain transplantation as the theme and had contained similar dialogues/script without the consent of the plaintiff which amounts to infringement of the copyright owned by the plaintiff. Vijay Antony has stolen the theme of the story written and produced by the plaintiff and he plans to release the film worldwide on April 14, 2023. Copyright is an intellectual property right that law gives to a creator or producer of cinematograph films and sound recordings. Hence, the plaintiff is praying for a permanent injunction restraining Vijay Antony from releasing the film 'Pichaikkaran 2' for infringing upon the copyrights owned and enjoyed by the plaintiff," the petition claimed.

The petitioner also sought a direction to Vijay Antony to pay Rs 10,01,000 towards damages for the sufferings and the loss on account of infringement of copyright hitherto enjoyed by him.

Responding to this, Vijay Antony filed a counter affidavit in the Madras High Court.

It was submitted that the story and screenplay of the film has no connection with the alleged film 'Aaivukoodam' and if the comparison chart goes public and the same will result in a huge financial loss to the respondent, further, it will result in huge mental agony.
