Did Adipurush makers really plagiarise?

Copy allegations on Adi Purush came as a shock to all. It is known that Prabhas' Adi Purush has been courting controversies ever since the makers released the teaser. On the eve of Rama Navami, the makers shared a new poster and also the first song. After a long time, the song got a positive response from movie lovers.

In the midst of all this, an artist accused Adi Purush makers of copying his work. Pratik Sanghar, an independent artist,on behalf of TP. Vijayan on his social media account alleged “I am a concept artist from India. I made my exploration for Lord Shri Ram’s possible looks for a Ramayan Epic if it were ever to be made. This was around a year ago. And the official concept artist working on Adipurush literally stole my artwork mix matched it with my similar artwork and called it their own that too without informing me or providing me any compensation.

This is one of the reasons for the failure of such a project. People working on it have no passion or love for the project instead they are finding and using cheap tricks to make this project," He added "I will provide a link to my original artwork and the artworks they have posted if they aren't already taken down. I took the screenshots because I knew they will take it down and pretend nothing happened."

However, Pratik later clarified that the artist TP. Vijayan who accused Adi Purush makers of plagiarism was found to be a fraud. He clarified on his account, posting "This is me Pratik Sanghar, whose art was plagiarised. Thanks to one of the redditers for bringing this info to light. From the research, I have come to realize that this guy is pretending to be working on this big project. He has also plagiarised other artists' work claiming it to be his own while pretending to be working on this project. When it's not true. So, no Adipurush team hasn't used my artwork. I just want this clarified."
