After Magadheera became super hit there was Vangapandu who claimed that a song belong to him, and then there was a story writer who clamied that the story of the movie belong to him. Chandra Bose apologized to the writer but nothing happened after that.
Now Mahatma, these things started even before the release of the movie. Aavudurthi Lakshman says a song in Mahatma belongs to him and was copied from his audio cassette that was released in 2005. By the way the song is 'Neelampuri Gaajulu' sung by Shyam. Lakshman demanded apology from director to singers and threated to goto the court if not done immediately.
Mahatma went through censor trouble recently and got the release date postponed to 9th. More controversies are expected in the movie after the release as this is based on Mahatma Gandhi and also a sensitive topic. If the movie becomes successful wait for a lot more controversies that will follow and not to mention the hype from the TV channels.
