#Srimanthudu: Team Issues Official Statement
However, the movie team has issued an official statement, urging everyone to await the legal outcomes before making premature conclusions.
Rumours circulated on social media alleging that the blockbuster movie "Srimanthudu," starring superstar Mahesh Babu and directed by Koratala Siva, is a scene-to-scene replica of writer Sarath Chandra's novel. The only noted distinction is the variation in the village name, 'Devarakonda' in the novel and 'Devarakota' in the film.
However, the movie team has issued an official statement, urging everyone to await the legal outcomes before making premature conclusions. The statement addresses the creative integrity of 'Srimanthudu,' stating that both the novel 'Chachentha Prema' and the movie present distinct narratives with no overlap. This fact, according to them, is verifiable by those who examine both the book and the film.
As the legal review is ongoing, with no hearings or verdicts so far, the statement encourages media and commentators to refrain from reaching premature conclusions. Emphasis is placed on informed comparison and awaiting legal outcomes. The team asserts the uniqueness of 'Srimanthudu' and its core idea of adopting a village, inviting interested parties to personally assess both works.
The appeal in the statement is for patience and trust in the legal process while respecting the principles of fairness and integrity. The team expresses gratitude for your understanding and support in this matter.
Although, Koratala Siva is busy in directing Jr. NTR's upcoming film 'Devara,' featuring Janhvi Kapoor. However, production is on hold due to an injury to the antagonist, Saif Ali Khan. Despite the break, there has been no response from Koratala Siva regarding the situation.
