Ajith Kumar starrer ‘Vidaamuyarchi’ is gearing up for its release on Pongal 2025, with the makers recently dropping its teaser.
Now, it seems the film might have landed in legal trouble over its remake rights.
As per the latest report, the Ajith Kumar starrer film apparently did not purchase the official remake rights from the makers of Kurt Russell starrer ‘Breakdown’; this has reportedly led the distributors of the latter to launch a legal dispute against ‘Vidaamuyarchi’ makers for a whopping USD 15 million (approx. Rs 127 crores) as compensation.
However, the same has not been confirmed by the makers of either film, and it would have to be seen whether the Ajith Kumar starrer has landed itself in legal trouble.
For those unaware, Ajith Kumar’s Vidaamuyarchi is said to be the remake of the 1997 movie Breakdown.
The film, starring Kurt Russell in the lead role, is an action thriller directed and co-written by Jonathan Mostow.
The recent teaser of the Ajith Kumar starrer also teased similar visuals and occurrences from the original film, leading to the assumption that the film is a remake.
With speculations running wild, the same is also yet to be confirmed by the makers.
