T P Vijayan visual designer who visualized the Oscar winning song Naatu Naatu of RRR shot n Ukraine and designed the poster of Prabhas Adipurush has been accused of plagiarism. On the occasion of Ram Navami, the poster for Adipurush was unveiled, which showcased Prabhas as Raghava, Kriti Sanon as Janaki, and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh, the respective characters of Lord Ram, Sita, and Ravana. However, despite receiving backlash for its appearance, a recent update has emerged, revealing that an independent creator, Pratik Sanghar, has claimed that the Adipurush team has plagiarized his artwork. Sanghar shared his artwork on Facebook, displaying screenshots of his previous concepts for Lord Shri Ram's possible appearance in a Ramayan Epic if ever made. He alleges that the official concept artist for Adipurush took his artwork, mixed it with similar artwork, and passed it off as their own, without notifying or compensating him. According to Sanghar, this is a reason for the project's failure, as the individuals involved lack passion and instead resort to cheap tactics to move forward.

Shruthi Haasan on short skirts in snow
Shruthi Haasan's comment regarding her song's sequence in the film Walter Veeraiya has upset fans of Chiranjeevi. In an interview, she mentioned that she was asked to wear a short dress during a song sequence shot in severe cold and snowing weather conditions, while the hero was fully clothed and wearing jackets. This led to speculation of a rift between Chiranjeevi and Shruthi, as she did not attend any promotional events for the film but was seen at Balakrishna's film Veera Simha Reddy, in which she was the heroine. Chiranjeevi's producer refuted these claims, stating that Shruthi was given a jacket to wear after every shot and shared a clip of Chiranjeevi and Sreedevi dancing in the snow to demonstrate that this was a common practice.
When asked about working with older heroes, Shruthi replied that she was not the only actress to gain fame from acting opposite older actors, as many leading women have done so. Fans have questioned why there seems to be a different standard for Shruthi, when Sreedevi had danced in short skirts with Chiranjeevi in the snow.

Samanatha film has no takers
On 14th April, the film Shaakuntalam will be released in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, in 3D format. Despite actress Samantha's extensive promotional tours and the visually stunning trailer, the movie's theatrical business in Andhra and Telangana remains uncertain. This is partly due to Gunasekhar's 7-year hiatus from filmmaking after his 2015 period drama "Rudhramadevi." The success of the film heavily relies on Samantha's star power, as producers who have opted for a 3D format are requesting high prices that distributors are hesitant to pay.
