Sivakarthikeyan's recently released 'Hero', directed by P.S. Mithran, has been having a decent box-office run since its worldwide release on December 20. However, the film landed in trouble when Bosco Prabhu, reportedly an assistant director of Atlee, had complained to the South Indian Film Writers' Association that P.S. Mithran had stolen his story and made the superhero thriller film.
