Lady Superstar Nayanthara’s upcoming film Dora will be released in theatres on March 31, confirmed the makers of fantasy-horror film on Thursday. The announcement of the release date was made soon after the South Indian Writers Association cleared the film of plagiarism charges. The film was recently embroiled in the plagiarism controversy after Sridhar, a television scriptwriter, accused debutant director Doss Ramasamy of lifting the story from his script titled Alibabavum Arputha Carum. He even threatened to press charges against the filmmakers. However, Doss filed a complaint at Writers Association in order to clear the air. After evaluating both the scripts in question, the association declared that Dora is Doss’s original script and is not copied as alleged by Sridhar.
“Writers Association has clearly mentioned in its verdict that there is no similarity in the scripts of Dora and Alibabavum Arputha Carum. At this juncture, I thank media friends for their continuous support,” Doss said according to media reports.
