Raabta alleged to be copy of Magadheera

New Delhi : Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon’s Raabta is in controversy before the release. It is being alleged that the film Raabta is a copy of the 2009 Ram Charan’s Magadheera.

The producer Allu Arvind has filed a case in the City Civil Court in Hyderabad, asking a ban on the film.

Allu Arvind in an official statement said, "We, the makers of Magadheera, felt through various sources, including the trailer and publicity materials, that Raabta is being remade violating the copyrights of our film. Hence we approached the Hyderabad Court seeking a ban on the film's release. The Hyderabad Court issued notice to the producers of Raabta and a hearing has been scheduled for June 1 to decide whether Raabta should be permitted to release,"

The Raabta has refused of these charged when asked. Bhushan Kumar, who is one of the producer of the film, said, "I am aware of the case filed by the makers of Magadheera in a Hyderabad court but we deny all the allegations. Raabta is totally a different film. I believe they are just assuming from the trailers because the plot deals with the subject of reincarnation. There are a lot of films based on the theme and as far as my understanding of the law goes, copyright laws can't be applied to a plotline.In fact, we saw Magadheera and can confidently say that our film is totally a different one. This is not the first time in our industry that somebody has attempted a movie around the reincarnation theme. Moreover, we are ready to screen Raabta to the court and they can decide for themselves. I'm sure things will be crystal clear after that,"

The hearing of the petition will take place on June 1.
