Producer Bellamkonda Suresh recently landed in controversies with a court issuing notice to him in the plagiarism case about “Jabardasth”.
In 2013, he had produced a film named “Jabardasth” with then real-life lovers Siddharth and Samantha in the direction of Nandini Reddy.
The film was a rip-off of Bollywood hit “Band Baaja Baarat” and recently a court in Hyderabad gave the order to pay Rs 13 Cr to a satellite channel.
Around the same time, he got a piece of good news with his son. After many attempts, his son Bellamkonda Srinivas finally received good reviews for his film. So, his father Suresh is understandably jubilant.
Suresh says his son Srinivas has now started following the formula of Venkatesh.
The Venky’s formula is picking up a super hit movie from other languages and remaking it faithfully. “Rakshasudu” became a hit and got an appreciation for this reason, he says.
Interestingly, Suresh also declares that his son Srinivas is number one Tollywood hero in Bollywood dubbed movie market.
“No Tollywood star comes close to my son. Irrespective of the movie’s fate in Tollywood, all his movies are huge hits in the Hindi dubbing market and his producers are seeing huge profits from this market,” he concluded.
To get good press, he also announced that he would donate some money to the welfare of Journalists henceforth with each film.
