Malayalam writer

Nishad Koya

alleges that the recently-released film '

Malayalee From India

,' directed by Dijo Jose Antony, plagiarized his script, originally intended for a project starring Jayasurya under director Joshiy. The accusation has ignited a heated debate, with both sides vehemently defending their stance.

The

controversy

surfaced when Nishad Koya took to Facebook to reveal striking similarities between his script and the storyline of "Malayalee From India," scheduled for release the following day.

However, his detailed post outlining the plot mysteriously vanished just hours before the film hit theaters, prompting suspicion and speculation within the industry.

In response to the

allegations

, the team behind 'Malayalee From India,' including actor Nivin Pauly, director Dijo Jose Antony, and producer Listin Stephen, during the promotions of the film, refuted Nishad Koya's claims.

Listin Stephen condemned Nishad Koya's actions, stating that the film had been announced well in advance, and that if he had any grievances, he should have pursued official channels within the industry instead of resorting to social media.

'Malayalee From India's producer emphasized that the incident reflected poorly on the integrity of the film industry, labeling Nishad Koya's approach as a "disgrace". Moreover, the team asserted that any resemblance between Nishad Koya's script and their film was purely coincidental, citing previous instances in the Malayalam industry where similar controversies arose, such as the legal battle between the Prithviraj starrer 'Vimaanam' and Vineeth Sreenivasan starrer 'Aby.'
