Filmmaker Mambully and actress Priya have, however, refused to accept or deny whether her film is based on the life of late super-star, Sridevi. This incident came about just a week after the husband of late actress Sri Devi said that he had no intentions to make a movie on the actress anytime soon. In an exclusive interview with The Quint, the veteran film producer clarified that there is no truth to these reports. “There is no such plan, I have just registered the title and copyrighted the name so that no one else misuses it,”.

Priya's father, Prakash, has also refused to comment on the legal notice, saying it was for the director and producers of the film to address.
