The Supreme Court has upheld the decision of the Nampally Court in the plagiarism case involving director Koratala Siva, confirming that he is the guilty party.
Writer Sarath Chandra filed a lawsuit against Koratala Siva, accusing the filmmaker of plagiarizing his story for the film "Srimanthudu."
Koratala Siva had disputed these charges for years. However, he now faces two options: either resolving the matter with writer Sarath Chandra or facing criminal prosecution.
The author is requesting a public statement from Koratala Siva regarding the story authored by Sarath Chandra.
This entire affair has further tarnished Koratala's reputation, already marred by the failure of "Acharya." A writer claimed that Siva stole his story even before the release of "Acharya."
