Makers of 'Maharshi' received the shock of their lives after the theatrical release. Director Sriwass of 'Loukyam' fame complained that the basic premise of the landmark flick of Mahesh Babu is very much similar to a story penned by him. He met Dil Raju, who is one of the Producers of 'Maharshi', for bringing to his notice about the issue. Even the Producer was surprised when he came to know about it but accepted the similarities between the plotline of 'Maharshi' and premise of the story written by Sriwass.
Until now, Sriwass has neither approached the Directors Association nor filed any complaint. The Filmmaker maintains a good rapport with Dil Raju since they teamed up for 'Rama Rama Krishna Krishna'. So, They decided to resolve the issue amicably.
Dil Raju offered to produce yet another film directed by Sriwass. And the Director who is badly in need of a success didn't let the opportunity go waste. To make that happen, Sriwass has to convince Dil Raju with an 'original' story first of all.
'Maharshi' opened to mixed reports but the collections are good enough in the first weekend. The real test would be the Box Office performance in the week days.
