Jr NTR’s latest movie “Jai Lava Kusa” got all the attention after the release of the teaser Jai’s character from the movie. Though the makers have made a villain look like a strong hero with his antics, the negative character impressed many. But here comes a shocking revelation.
If we have to believe in the reports published by a leading daily, actually this ‘character’ was originally designed by Puri Jagan and our star hero has made director KS Ravindra copy it. The report says, “Puri Jagan narrated a story with the same character to NTR way back a year after they did Temper. But NTR didn’t give his nod to that film as Puri’s Ism with Kalyan Ram got flopped. But now he made writer-director KS Ravindra use that characterization for Jai Lava Kusa movie”, as said by an associate of Puri Jagan.
Generally, we see writers and directors getting engulfed into plagiarism issues but never there are accusations that a hero himself picking other director’s idea for his new film with another director. And that too such allegation coming up on a big star like Jr NTR is something very shocking.
On the flip side, some say that creating negative characters that have shades of Duryodhana and Ravana, the two biggest villains of India’s most popular epics, is not new in Tollywood. At the same time, using Telangana dialect for villains is also not new. So what is copied here?
