Two Claims for Oraal

It is normal for art films in Kerala to make controversy if directed by Adoor Gopalakrishnan or T V Chandran.
But the film by a new comer, Kukku Sreedahr, "Oraal" is in the news now.
One Vinod Narayanan claims it was his story. But Kukku denies it altogether.
Vinod had submitted his story to the weekly Manoraajyam and it did got published in it.Manoraajyam is owned by none other than film producer goodnight Mohan.Uchaveyilil Vanasthali- was the title of the story.
It was about a couple who went to a forest for honeymoon. But in the forest the woman's lover kills the husband . The devastated woman turns against the lover and the disappointed lover tells she may kill him too. And she does exactly that. Then she runs into the deep forest.
And what about the story of Oraal?It tells the story of a psychopath writer ( he is a film maker too ) who think one of the characters of his novel is the secret lover of his fiance. Finally he ends up in a mental asylum chained up.
There is only thing in common in these two stories:
The backdrop is a forest.
It was in last year that writer Babu Bharadwaj claimed that Rajeevnath lifted a story written by him to make the film Moksham in which Seenath Aman was the heroine.
The film failed to get any award but the controversy did not burn out.
