Director K Bhagyaraj, president of South Indian Film Writer’s Union, has revealed the entire story of Sarkar in his attempt to respond to various allegations leveled against him by filmmaker AR Murugadoss.
“The protagonist coming to his place to exercise his voting franchise is the same in both the stories. Then, he fights for his voting right in the court and the election gets canceled. This creates an enmity between the politician and the protagonist, who stands against the former in the upcoming election. The protagonist wins the election, which enables an opportunity for him to be elected as the Chief Minister of the state. The climax is about whether he becomes the CM or not. This is the outline of both Sarkar and Sengol. Screenplay and treatment could be different in each filmmaker’s perspective. That’s not the point here,” argued Bhagyaraj.
Bhagyaraj also said that he has only appealed to Murugadoss to give complainant Varun Rajendran credit for the core idea alone. The film is slated to hit screens on November 6th and the Madras High Court will hear the case tomorrow.
