Since many years ace director Prem (three consecutive hit films - Kariya, Excuse Me and Jogi) has been talking about his film "Preethi Eke Bhoomi Mele Idhe". This is a known fact in the industry. This has been registered and widely accepted for such a title. The media has written about it. The fans of Prem have called up many a times and asked 'Guru tells us why Preethi Eke Bhoomi Mele Idhe…., for which Prem has casually told because it has no other place. So for so good. After the release of his latest blockbuster 'Jogi' director Prem announced the launch of 'Preethi Eke Bhoomi Mele Idhe' with Ashwini Ramprasad producing it.

Now the controversy erupts. Director of 'Mental Manja' the surprise hit of this year for his new film 'Thimma' that was launched on Friday morning has retained the lines below the title, Preethi Eke Bhoomi Mele Idhe, Thimmanigaagi adhu Bhoomi Mele Idhe. 

When questioned on this plagiarism director Sai Sagar informed the media that has gathered that he has contacted Prem and said he is giving answer to the question Preethi Eke Bhoomi Mele Idhe. Not convinced the media further asked when did you thought of these lines. Sai Sagar said it is a few days ago I have thought it like this. 

You are wrong on your part was the question posed again by the media? Anyone can get inspiration from any place. I am inspired by it and giving answer to the title of Prem in this film starring my brother Arjun. You have even copied the hairstyle of 'Jogi' was another question shot. Sai Sagar said 'Jogi' hairstyle is inspired from 'Anniyan' Tamil film. The media was taken aback.
