Trivikram, a popular Tollywood filmmaker, has faced accusations of taking ideas from other works without giving credit. It’s said that his film “A Aa” borrowed elements from Vijaya Nirmala’s movie ‘Meena’, which was based on a novel by Yeddanapudi Sulochana Rani. Trivikram didn’t acknowledge the original creators when making his film and stirred debate.
When Sulochana Rani raised concerns and filed a case, Trivikram tried to settle the matter. However, this wasn’t the only instance. He also revamped the old movie “Inti Donga” into “Ala Vaikunthapuramulo”. Although the film did well commercially, many people criticized Trivikram for profiting from unoriginal work.
Recent reports suggest that Trivikram might have repeated this pattern with ‘Guntur Kaaram’, supposedly taking inspiration from Sulochana Rani’s novels again. Unfortunately, the author is no longer alive.
It’s claimed that ‘Guntur Kaaram’ might have drawn its storyline from Sulochana Rani’s novel ‘Keerti Kireetalu’. The story revolves around a woman whose life is full of success, beauty, wealth, family, and love. However, just like a brief rainbow, her happiness might be short-lived. The events following this crucial moment form the rest of the story.
Allegations like these have led to speculation about whether Trivikram properly acknowledged the original creators and obtained legal rights for these adaptations. The truth behind these claims is expected to surface by January 12th.
It’s essential to learn if due credit was given to Yeddanapudi Sulochana Rani for her original work and whether the necessary rights were acquired legally from the author’s estate or publisher.
