.Aarur Tamil Nadan alias Amutha Tamil Nadan, who is a deputy news editor with Nakeeran', came to the police commissioner's office with his advocates G Edwig and L Sivakumar and submitted the petition. "I had written a small novel Jugiba' in a magazine called Iniya Udhayam', in 1996. My novel was repeated in Dhik Dhik Dheepika' magazine in 2007 with my permission. Director Shankar and producer Kalanithi Maran stole the raw story from my novel and added ingredients to the movie like songs, fights and graphics. Many of my friends and relatives informed me about this and I saw the movie recently at a theatre in the city. I learnt that the same movie was also dubbed and released in Telugu and Hindi. I have sent a legal notice to director Shankar and producer Kalanithi Maran. As I did not get any response from them, I have now approached the city police commissioner," the complainant told reporters.
"I have been in the literary field since my school days. Chief minister M Karunanidhi and minister K Anbazhagan had endorsed my first book of poems in 1983. Later, I participated in many literary shows with Vairamuthu, Mu Metha and Abdul Rahman (Tamil poets). I was awarded the title Kavimaamani'. I continued to write lyrics for many Tamil movies. Shankar and Maran are punishable under Section 63 of Copyrights Act, 1957," Tamil Nadan told TOI.
"Police commissioner T Rajendran has accepted my complaint and has promised to probe the case," he said.

i had already read many more stories written by aarur tamilnadan, in that way i already read the story jugiba. i can surely promise that jugiba is the core story of endhiran.this shows clearly that shankar had copied the jugiba with the help of sujhatha and made enthiran. always my support for aarur tamilnadan.
