Ever since the first show of Trivikram Srinivas’ latest hit A..Aa kicked off, there have been several allegations that Trivikram lifted the film’s plotline from popular yesteryear novel Meena written by celebrated women writer Yaddanapudi Sulochanarani.
Most critics and literature lovers are well acquainted with Meena as the novel was later adapted into a feature film with the same title starring Krishna and Vijaya Nirmala. What irked these trolls and critics with A..Aa was that Trivikram didn’t mention anywhere in the credits that his film was inspired from Meena.
However, die-hard Trivikram fans defend their ‘Guruji’ saying that Trivikram had already bought the novel’s adaptation rights almost 10 years ago and that he would not need to credit the original writer in his film.
On the other hand, the situation is quite different in Hollywood and Bollywood where novels or any fictitious literature once adapted onto the silver screen are given due credit including their authors for their original work. Had Trivikram done the same, critics would have certainly calmed down.
