Dr Rajasekhar's upcoming film 'Kalki' was struck in a controversy when a writer named Karthikeya (alias Prasad) has approached the Telugu Cine Writers' Association, claiming that the film's story was his creation. In this regard, 'Katha Hakkula Vedhika' convenor BVS Ravi said, "We had set up a 'Katha Hakkula Vedhika' to address the woes of writers and directors. We have been resolving differences between individuals in an amicable manner. Many writers come to us with complaints after watching the trailer of movies. They say that the film's story is theirs. We then go through the story submitted by such individuals and compare the story of the film under consideration. If there are any similarities, we bring them out in the open. We follow the standards set by the Copyright Act rules envisioned by Bollywood writer Javed Akhtar.

After going through the scripts of Karthikeya and 'Kalki', we have concluded that there are no similarities whatsoever. We are making this clear to the world only because Karthikeya has previously made his point in front of the media. Further discussions will be made if need arises. As of now, we see no similarities between the two scripts. We take collective decisions alongwith our president N Shankar and secretary Ram Prasad."
