Actor Kishore lands himself in trouble

He has come to be remembered as one of the more versatile actors in the Tamil film industry recently, but actor Kishore has found himself in a soup in the Kannada film industry. The actor, whose Kannada production venture ‘Kabadi’ was launched a couple of years ago, has caused him this.
Kishore, who recently featured in ‘Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu’ as a Kabadi coach, had also produced a Kannada film, titled ‘Kabadi’, in which he played the Kabadi coach.
Kabadi’s director, Narendra Babu, has been fuming ever since he saw ‘Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu’, accusing Kishore of incorporating a few scenes of Kabadi in ‘Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu’. “Both these films were based on the same sport and Kishore plays the coach in both of them. A few scenes in Vennila were directly taken from my Kannada film,” says Narendra, accusing Kishore for telling the story to Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu’s crew.
Actor Kishore, on his part, has denied the accusation. “I’m producing the Kannada film ‘Kabadi’. Why would I then use its story for another film?” he asks.
