Srimanthudu Controversy: Koratatala Siva in trouble as SC initiates Criminal Case

In an unexpected twist, Director Koratala Siva has found himself embroiled in legal complications stemming from plagiarism allegations related to his film “Srimanthudu.” The unforeseen developments began when writer Sarath Chandra filed a petition in the Nampally court, asserting that Koratala had incorporated his story from the Swathi magazine into the narrative of “Srimanthudu.” Subsequently, the court mandated the initiation of criminal charges against Koratala.

In an attempt to navigate this legal challenge, Koratala sought relief from the Telangana High Court. Despite presenting his case and scrutinizing the evidence provided by Sarath Chandra, alongside the Writers Association’s report, the Telangana High Court upheld the decision of the Nampally court. The culmination of these legal proceedings resulted in the initiation of a criminal case against Koratala Siva for his involvement in “Srimanthudu.”

Undeterred, Koratala elevated the matter to the Supreme Court, where the magistrate carefully deliberated over his petition. After thorough examination, the bench aligned with the directives of the local courts, reinforcing the decision that Koratala should face the charges.

As Koratala is currently immersed in the production of the pan-Indian action drama “Devara,” featuring NTR, this legal setback has understandably raised concerns among fans of the actor. The news has generated apprehension about the potential impact on the progress of “Devara,” a highly anticipated film that has captured widespread excitement.

The unfolding legal drama introduces an air of uncertainty regarding both the fate of “Devara” and Koratala’s career. With the proceedings underway, fans and industry observers eagerly await clarity on the matter, hoping for a resolution that will allow Koratala to continue his filmmaking pursuits without further impediment. It has to be seen how Koratala Shiva will react over the latest developments and what action he will take to come out of it or whether he will look for out of court settlement.
