Enthiran Copyright Case || “No Grounds for Attachment”: Madras HC Stays ED’s Action on Director S. Shankar

Today, On 11th March, The Madras High Court issued a stay on the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) move to seize director Shankar’s properties in the Enthiran copyright dispute. The ED took action based on a 2011 complaint by writer Arur Tamilnadan, who claimed that Shankar had copied his story Jiguba for the blockbuster film. Shankar has consistently denied the allegations, stating that Enthiran was his original creation. With the court’s stay order, the legal battle over the film’s copyright continues.
