Allu Arjun Atlee project poster hit by plagiarism

Plagiarism hits Allu Arjun Atlee project poster. On Allu Arjun's birthday, the makers of Allu Arjun-Atlee project came up with a powerful announcement video and poster. Even as fans are super excited, netizens find similarities between this poster and Hollywood film Dune and accuse the makers of plagiarism.

Here’s the Dune poster they shared during its re-release. We’re talking same vibe, same desert-like background, similar character placements… basically, if you squint, you might not even notice it’s a different movie.

Sometime back Atlee refusing plagiarism rumours said “In the creative field, you end up making similar stories. That doesn’t mean I copy it. It can be inspired. I was inspired by MGR (Ramachandran) songs and that’s why I make intro songs. I take risks… In 30 years, no one has told Shah Rukh Khan Sir the kind of story I had and went with such a proposal. Do you think only I face such criticism in the world of cinema? Many great filmmakers and creative minds have faced it."

He added “When someone just passes a comment in two seconds comparing mine to other films, I will never think my effort, honesty, and labour are all replicas. It’s their thoughts. Of course, I have made films which have shared storylines with other films. For example, ‘Theri’ has different versions before and after its release. But when I do it, it is called copied. Copying is easy. If that’s the case, everyone can do it."

This isn’t Atlee’s first brush with the “copy-paste" police. In the past, eagle-eyed fans have pointed out that some of his scenes looked a little too familiar from other films.
