Plagiarism Claims Haunting Trivikram

Indian filmmakers usually take inspiration from Hollywood or other language films to narrate them in their own perspective. When there was no accessibility of internet, nobody knows whether director has copied a scene or a complete film from other language. But, today, copycats can’t escape from netizens.

French screenwriter and director Jerome Salle after watching Pawan Kalyan’s Agnyaathavaasi claimed that the plot was lifted from his film and he threatened to take legal action. But, the issue has been resolved behind closed doors.

Now, Trivikram has been facing plagiarism claims once again for his new outing NTR starrer Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava. Few scenes in the film were allegedly copied from Hollywood flick The Family. Few also claim that, Aravinda Sametha has shades of Trivikram’s own film Athadu and Koratala Siva directed Mirchi.
