A well known fact is that director N Omprakash Rao, to save the skin of the producer, does remixes and remakes in his career. 'I want the producer to win', is his slogan. Accepted theory! But when he picks up the original he is also copying the contents.

The film 'Bheema Theeradalli', that went on the floors on the Ugadi festival day, is based on a famous novel by the editor of a tabloid Ravi Belegere. It was his column that later became a book – 'Bheema Theeradalli Hantakaru'.

Now, launching the film 'Bheema Theeradalli', director Om Prakash Rao says that he has not read the famous book in Kannada. At the same time, he stated on a television channel recently, that the book by Ravi Belegere 'Bheema Theeradalli' is his favourite.

Copying in originals too, has become the style of director Rao.
