The legal fight between the makers of Magadheera and Raabta
has lastly come to an end as the latter have won the plagiarism case against
them and now, the movie be releasing this Friday.
The producer of Magadheera, Allu Arvind wanted a stay on
Raabta’s release but, he withdrew the case after watching the film.
A source disclosed, “The Raabta makers received a legal
notice from the producer (Allu Arvind) of Magadheera citing plagiarism. They
requested him to watch their rough-cut, but he didn’t want that… Obviously a
bigger game, which unraveled later, was being played.”
With pressure levels reaching new heights, and the producer
of Magadheera, Allu Arvind, denying to entertain any reasoning by the Raabta
makers, there seemed no way out.
The source further revealed, “They were willing to show him
(Allu Arvind) Raabta so he could compare it with Magadheera to ascertain it’s
not a copy, but he wasn’t interested. Then they offered to put the compensation
being asked for into escrow with the esteemed court and if the court decided it
was a copy, he could take the amount demanded. He wasn’t even interested in
entertaining this.”
“The only think I can think of is that he had sold the
rights of Magadheera to be made in Hindi and is concerned that since Raabta is
also about reincarnation and unrequited love, after its release, no one will
want to do a similar genre soon. Maybe I’m wrong but since the aim was to stop
the release rather that fight the case correctly, this is the only reason that
makes sense,” ended the chat source.
