- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,February 05 2010]
Two youths, Srinivas Reddy and Shiva, have claimed to be the original story-writers of Kammula's forthcoming flick Leader and last year's hit film Bumper Offer. The controversy is seen as the continuation of the Magadheera and Adhurs sagas, one of which has its claimant in a novelist, who has even warned the producers to approach the court.
Srinivas Reddy has reportedly alleged Amma Rajasekhar to have sold off his story idea to Puri Jagannadh. The film was made as Bumper Offer, according to him. He has gone on a fasting in front of the Writers' Association building in the city. However, Raja Sekhar has denied the allegations and said that Bumper.. was brain child.
On the other hand, the yet-to-be-released Leader has a claimant in Shiva, a youth, who says that the film is about a former Chief Minister's son occupying the gaddi. It is learnt Shiva is planning to approach the court.
Films landing up in controversies of plagiarism is not new. However, this time, we see big flicks like Magadheera, Leader and Bumper Offer in the midst of them.
