SP Chari, the novelist who penned the novel Chanderi claims that the movie Magadheera was straight away copied from his novel that was written in 1998 and also appeared as serial in Andhra Bhoomi.
Chary was an ECIL employee earlier. He said that the movie comprises everything what he has written with very minor changes in character names Haradaul to Harsha and Indumathi to Indu.
He also said that the story in Chanderi is about two lovers jumping into well and committing suicide 400 years ago in Orcha Kingdom of Madhya Pradesh. They reincarnate after 400 years to get married. The villain in Chanderi is hero’s own brother but here in Magadheera he was heroine’s cousin. Rest of the story is as it was in Chanderi, says Chary
Chary said that he lodged a complaint in Film Chamber but no response was received so far. He also tried to contact Geeta Arts but they refused to talk to him. Chary says that he would go to court and lodge a complaint under copyright infringement if Allu Aravind wouldn’t give credit for him. The story writer is mentioned as Vijayayendra Prasad, the father of SS Rajamouli.
