Mahesh Babu’s film, Srimanthudu, recently encountered a copyright dispute as R. D. Wilson, also known as Sarath Chandra, accused director Koratala Shiva of plagiarizing his novel ‘Chachhentha Prema’ for the movie’s core plot. The Telugu Cine Writers’ Association validated the claim, leading to criminal charges against Shiva.
This legal battle has not concluded, and Wilson has now alleged that another Mahesh Babu-starrer, Maharshi, is a scene-to-scene copy of his work ‘Samaharam.’ The writer plans to take legal action against the writers of Maharshi, including Vamshi Paidipally, Hari, and Ahishor Solomon, once the Srimanthudu issue is resolved.
These accusations have created a challenging situation for Mahesh Babu, with his writers and directors facing continuous legal troubles. The ongoing legal dispute emphasizes the importance of respecting intellectual property rights in the film industry.
Despite these challenges, Mahesh Babu is gearing up for his next project, directed by S. S. Rajamouli. As the legal matters unfold, the industry and fans are closely watching how these copyright issues will impact the future of Mahesh Babu’s films.
