Some viewers, who have seen Mahesh Babu's Spyder, say that actor SJ Surya's role is inspired by late actor Heath Ledger's character Joker in the Hollywood movie The Dark Knight.
Written and directed by AR Murugadoss, Spyder is about an Intelligence Bureau officer (Mahesh Babu), who hears the problems of people and helps them. The movie is all about how he goes on to nab a psychopathic serial killer (SJ Surya). Both the actors have delivered brilliant performances, which are the highlights of the film.
The viewers are impressed with the racy screenplay of Murugadoss, lead actors' performance and rich production values. Soon after watching Spyder, many film-goers took to their Twitter handles and lauded and congratulated the film unit for their wonderful efforts.
But some movie buffs say that director AR Murugadoss has taken inspiration from Heath Ledger's character Joker in the Hollywood movie The Dark Knight for the role of SJ Surya. Here are Twitter comments of a few viewers.
