Ram Gopal Varma is one person who never seem to be out of lime light for right or wrong reasons. he just scored a hit with his recent movie ‘The Attacks of 26/11’ after a long string of flops. But it is not all good for the maverick director. He just received a legal notice from a boat owner for misusing his property. For the sake of reality, Ram Gopal Varma had used Kuber, the name of the original boat and its registration number in the movie. They are the same details of the boat terrorists have stolen and sneaked in to India. But now Hiralal Masaani, the owner of the boat who had watched the movie is not happy with it. He had sent legal notices to Ram Gopal Varma for using his boat name and registration details with out his permission. Ramu is yet to respond to this notice.

 Directed by Ram Gopal Varma and produced by Alumbra Entertainment and Eros International, The Attacks of 26/11 features Nana Patekar, and Sanjeev Jaiswal (As Ajmal Kasab) among others. Ramu was assisted by Rommel Rodrigues,who had written a book ‘ Kasab the face of 26/11′ based on the incident.

“Munna Bhai Chale Dilli”, the tentative title of the third “Munna Bhai” film of the popular Bollywood franchise, will be directed by Subhash Kapoor. The earlier films in the franchise – “Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.” and “Lage Raho Munnabhai” – were directed by Rajkumar Hirani under the Vidhu Vinod Chopra Films Pvt Ltd. banner.

After the success of the first two movies in the series, rumors were ripe that the third in the series is titled Munna bhai chale Amerika. The project did not take off for some reasons. Both the movies are highly successful commercially and were remade in several Indian languages.

In any film functions one hears the oft repeated dialogues like the story is unique and no one touched this in the industry. Film makers boast that hero never did such role and the moment he heard the story, he hugged them. However after the film hits the screen, everything looks similar to n number of films.

In all the films storyline looks similar except for change of heroes and heroines and technical team. One wonder what could be the reason for such things.This is noticed not only in Tollywood but entire film industry in the country.While some film makers bag remake rights for lump sum amounts, some to escape from copyright problems say they drew inspiration from hit film.

This is happening because heroes are influencing directors to include hit scenes from hit films. So intro scene will be from one film, interval bang from another film, cilmax from another. The same thing happened in Nayak and Mirchi but but turned out to be blockbusters.

Prabhas went on record that if one looks for innovative scripts then it takes 3 yrs for one film. When film industry turned commercial with crores involved no one would like to take any risks. They stick to some formulas. One such could be hero entering villain’s house and try to change them. This ploot was first used in Gudumba Shankar and later in Aata but both did not click.

However from Ready the same formula started working and many films came in similar lines. Rajani’s Basha also inspired many film makers.Samara Simha Reddy,Indra,Narasimha Naidu,Bhrat Simha Reddy and many more have shades of Basha. Some are now saying their film is not a copy or inspiration from any film. But if one takes Nandini Reddy’s Jabardasth, even that bubble burst. Nandini said her film is unique but it turned out to be carbon copy of Band Baja Baarat.Even film makers of Badshah and Greeku Veerudu are at pains to convince movie lovers that theirs is new story and not inspired or copied from other films. This is because every now and then internet is abuzz with rumors that these films are freemakes of previous hit films,
