Koratala Siva reacts on Srimantudu Supreme Court shock. Speculations surfaced on social media suggesting that the blockbuster film "Srimanthudu," starring superstar Mahesh Babu and directed by Koratala Siva, might be a direct adaptation of writer Sarath Chandra's novel. The primary distinction noted is the variation in the village names, 'Devarakonda' in the novel and 'Devarakota' in the film.
In response to these claims, the movie's team has released an official statement, urging everyone to await the legal outcomes before drawing premature conclusions. The statement addresses the creative integrity of 'Srimanthudu,' asserting that the novel 'Chachentha Prema' and the movie offer distinct narratives with no overlap. The team believes that this fact can be verified by those who examine both the book and the film.
While the legal review is ongoing, with no hearings or verdicts as yet, the statement encourages media and commentators to refrain from making premature judgments. The emphasis is on making informed comparisons and awaiting legal outcomes. The team highlights the uniqueness of 'Srimanthudu' and its core idea of adopting a village, inviting interested parties to personally assess both works.
The statement appeals for patience and trust in the legal process, underscoring the principles of fairness and integrity. The team expresses gratitude for understanding and support in this matter.
Meanwhile, director Koratala Siva, currently involved in directing Jr. NTR's upcoming film 'Devara' featuring Janhvi Kapoor, has faced a production delay due to an injury to the antagonist, Saif Ali Khan. Despite the hiatus, there has been no response from Koratala Siva regarding the situation.
