IS hat-trick hero Shivaraj Kumar's look in his 100th and one of his most anticipated movies Jogayya, a copy of Tamil blockbuster Naan Kadavul?

Yes, say insiders, who witnessed Jogayya's launch, in a grand ceremony at the Kantirava indoor studio.

While Shivaraj Kumar's new look in Jogayya, the sequel of his 2005 release, directed by Jogi allegedly has many similarities with the looks of Arya an Aghori in Naan Kadavul, director Prem claims it to be a fresh look.

"Shivaraj Kumar's new looks has lots of similarities with Arya's looks in Naan Kadavul," confirmed a source on condition of anonymity. "His looks have been modeled on Arya's look as a Aghori in Naan Kadavul," he added.

"The character Arya in Naan Kadavul is an Aghori who worships Lord Shiva," added the source. "Shivaraj Kumar's costume, dance and looks also remind one of Lord Shiva."

However director Prem rubbishes the observations. "Shivaraj Kumar's new look is a fresh and one of its kind one. Neither the film's sequences nor its costumes are neither inspired by any movie," said Prem.
