Magadheera makers approach court against Raabta

The makers of Rajamouli directed Ram Charan and Kajal Agarwal starrer 'Magadheera' (2009) claim that upcoming Bollywood release 'Raabta' has violated the copyrights of their movie.

Producer Allu Aravind whose banner 'Geeta Arts' produced 'Magadheera' sought an injunction against the release of 'Raabta' that is scheduled for 9th June. The production house contends that the Bollywood movie "copied its unique story and plot line in violation of its copyright."

"Sessions court in Hyderabad issued notice to the makers of 'Raabta' and posted the matter to 1st June to decide whether the film must be permitted to release on 9th June," a statement from Geeta Arts said.

'Raabta' features Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon as the lead pair and the film is directed by Dinesh Vijan.
