Court Judgement Against Sivakarthikeyan's Hero bans it from TV/OTT!

 

PS Mithran directed Hero which stars Sivakarthikeyan in the lead was released on December 20, 2019 and has been streaming on Amazon Prime Video since January this year. However the movie has been removed from the OTT platform, following a court judgement against it, which bans the film from airing on TV and streaming platforms. 

The judgement was with respect to a plagiarism case which the makers have been fighting since the release of the film. Back then K Bhagyaraj from the Writers’ Union sent out a press note that the core plot of Hero and the story of assistant director Bosco Prabhu are same; PS Mithran on his side had pointed out then that the screenplay was different but now it seems like the court has favoured the other side. 

Hero also stars Arjun, Abhay Deol and Kalyani Priyadarshan among others with music by Yuvan Shankar Raja. The film was about an ordinary man taking the super-hero avatar and was co-written by Pon Parthiban, Savari Muthu and Antony Bhagyaraj.
