Jr NTR's Jai Lava Kusa is not a rip-off of Ajith's Varalaru
Jr NTR is playing three roles in his upcoming film Jai Lava Kusa, which is reportedly inspired from Ajith’s Tamil film Varalaru.
However, according to a unit source, the subject of Jai Lava Kusa is completely different from the Ajith-starrer. After the news appeared, the Tamil producer approached the Telugu filmmakers to file a complaint. “But when the writer narrated the story of the Telugu film, the producer realised that it is a different film,” says the source.
In the Tamil version, Ajith played a father and two sons, but Jr NTR is not playing a father’s role in the Telugu version. “He is playing three young characters, which are good, bad and ugly, and the is completely a screenplay based,” adds the source.
The shooting of the action-drama is presently going on. K.S. Ravindra (Bobby) is directing the film while Nivetha Thomas and Raashi Khanna are the female leads.
