'Businessman' copied from Kannada cinema?

Call it the excessive hype or the sheer charisma of Mahesh Babu, the film 'Businessman' has reached good rates of success though it lacked in content or the message. Now, another talk is emerging and this is from Karnataka. Apparently, few Kannada cine pundits say a key concept of the film was copied.

They claim "The concept of giving employment to Rowdies and creating a corporate environment for them is a straight copy from the Kannada movie 'Super' which had Upendra in the lead. That forms the crux of 'Businessman' and 'Super' released in Telugu also so those who have watched it can correlate."

However, those who heard this in Tollywood say "Nothing like that. It could be a simple coincidence and a director like Puri has got enough calibre to make things original and not depend on some Kannada movie. If that was true, by this time the copyright infringement or plagiarism issues would have cropped up. Why didn't that happen?"
