Sandalwood industry sources have stated that Pushpaka Vimana was released in the beginning of this year. The film, being Ramesh Aravind's 100th film, opened to good reviews from the critics. It was Ramesh's brilliant performance that carried the entire movie forward. Alongside Ramesh, Rachita Ram and Yuvina Parthavi shared the main stage.
Currently the film seems to be embroiled in a fresh controversy wherein an FIR has been registered against the producers of the movie for having stolen the story and screenplay from a Korean movie. It was stated that an FIR has been registered against the four producers of the movie at Girinagar Police Station, Bengaluru. In the FIR, Vikhyath, Pavan Wodeyar, Vijay Savanoor and Guru Prasad have been accused of stealing the plot of the movie.
Meanwhile
before this development, a case was first filed
in the High Court of Mumbai for stealing the story line of the movie without
obtaining the copyright. The plaintiffs, Cross Pictures India and Cross
Television India, who had the copyrights of the Korean movie, had filed a
lawsuit against the producers for the same reason.
