Gulte Telugu news
The ongoing copyright infringement case against Koratala Siva filed by writer Sarath Chandra aka RD Wilson garnered mixed reactions all over. Writer Sarath Chandra alleged that Srimanthudu’s story was copied from his ‘Chachentha Prema.’ Sarath Chandra alleges that except for the village name, Srimanthudu is a scene-to-scene copy of his ‘Chachentha Prema story.
Sarath Chandra says that the makers of Srimanthudu wanted to compensate him with some money which he is not looking for. Instead, Sarath Chandra is asking for credit. Sarath wants Koratala Siva to accept his mistake publicly or else he warns of sending Koratala to jail.
In a recent development, the team of Srimanthudu issued a statement regarding the ongoing issue. Calling it the ‘Official statement on the Creative Integrity of Srimanthudu’, the team asks the media and commentators to refrain from premature conclusions as the matter is currently under legal review.
Official Statement on the Creative Integrity of ‘Srimanthudu’.
We address the discussion around Mr. Koratala Siva’s ‘Srimanthudu’ amidst claims of similarity to the novel ‘Chachentha Prema’. Both works, existing in the public domain, showcase distinct narratives with no overlap, a fact readily verifiable by those who examine the book and film.
As the matter is currently under legal review, with no hearings or verdicts to date, we urge the media and commentators to refrain from premature conclusions. We emphasize the importance of basing discourse on informed comparison and legal outcomes.
We stand firmly by the uniqueness of ‘Srimanthudu’ and our core idea of adopting a village and encourage whomsover interested to personally assess the two works. Our appeal is for patience and trust in the legal process, respecting the principles of fairness and integrity.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
