Recently Zee5, that produced the web series ‘Chadarangam’ a fictional story based on the political journey of late NTR, said it was going to produce another fictional tale on former Chief Ministers Chandrababu and YS Rajasekhar Reddy. According to reports, Raj, who directed ‘Chadarangam’, might be directing this political drama too. Now, director Deva Katta is warning these makers about copyrights issue if they go ahead with this script.
He alleges that he registered a similar script – a story of friendship between the two political stalwarts of Andhra Pradesh, who later turned into rivals – under the copyrights act in 2017. The director has issued a public statement informing everyone that his legal team will be closely monitoring this issue.
Deva Katta said, “In 2017, I have written a script paying homage to the iconic YSR/CBN political life imagining a fictional friendship/professional rivalry between them and registered it under the copyrights act. I have also registered multiple versions of this script since 2017 periodically. It’s definitely being hijacked by some people here over several “party talks” but I hope they limit their fiction to the public domain information and don’t invite any legal action by copying any of my registered themes!”
