Not long ago, we came with a burning controversy about plagiarism. As a firm decision is not taken so far at AP Film Writers Unions, there is something very interesting happening. Budding writer GSR complained at Union that his story has striking similarities with that of Viajayendra Prasad's story.

Right now Raja Mouli is directing a film, which is expected to be titled as 'Simhadri' with NTR, Bhumika Chawla and Ankita in the main leads. Vijayendra Prasad is providing story and Paruchuri brothers are giving dialogues.

Meanwhile, GSR's story is approved by mass hero Sri Hari and he is planning to act in a film titled 'Simhachalam' based on this story. Priyanka Trivedi is acting as heroine. Prakash Raj is acting as brother of Srihari. Posani Krishna Murali provides dialogues and A Kodandarami Reddy directs this film. Sri Hari is scouting for a producer and if he could not manage one, Srihari is willing to produce it on his home banner 'Sashank Meghansh Creations'. This film is expected to go on to the floors on 6th of February and it would be completed in a single schedule

And Sri Hari is going to release Simhachalam film much before than the release of NTR's Simhadri. Simhachalam and Simhadri have same basic storyline. Bhumika Chawla and Priyanka Trivedi are acting as mad girls in these two films respectively. Only time will tell which movie is going to win the hearts of masses. Simhadri or Simhachalam???
