The recently released Dude, made by Mythri Movie Makers, has turned out to be a Diwali blockbuster, leaving its mark on the box office. With the worldwide collections of the film already crossing ₹90 crore, it’s likely to soon cross ₹100 crore. But just as the team is celebrating such monumental success, the movie has been surrounded by a controversy that nobody expected.
Legendary music director Ilaiyaraaja has raised eyebrows, officially complaining about the producers of Dude. He claims his hit song “Karutha Machan” had been used in the film without permission. The controversy has intensified quickly in both Kollywood and Tollywood, causing fans and industry experts to take notice. While it was a commercial success, the filmmakers will definitely have to pause their celebrations due to this legal problem after they have addressed this issue.
