ZEE5 Issues Strong Clarification on PC Meena Controversy: Blames False Allegations and Legal Breach

By TeluguFunda / June 28, 2025

In a bold move to set the record straight, ZEE5 directly addressed the PC Meena controversy, responding to recent copyright infringement claims made by writer Prashanth Dimmalla. The platform firmly denied all accusations, calling them baseless, misleading, and a clear attempt to harm its reputation.

ZEE5 Breaks Silence on Viraatapalem Controversy

ZEE5 stated that it understands the legal case filed by Prashanth Dimmalla, who accused the Telugu original series Viraatapalem: PC Meena Reporting and its scriptwriter of copying his work. The platform clarified that the court is still reviewing the matter, and it expected Mr. Dimmalla to respect the judicial process by refraining from public comments. However, Mr. Dimmalla chose to hold a press conference, which he streamed live on social media, thereby attracting public attention.

ZEE5 Shows Transparency and Good Faith

ZEE5 explained that it followed the Hon’ble Court’s interim order dated 25.06.25 and demonstrated transparency. The platform provided Mr. Dimmalla with a preview of the series, allowing him to personally verify if any part resembled his script. But instead of reviewing the content, Mr. Dimmalla and his team launched a media attack, accusing ZEE5 of theft without presenting any evidence.

ZEE5 strongly condemned the press conference and the public campaign, calling them reckless and misleading. The platform stated that Mr. Dimmalla and his associates intentionally spread false information to damage the image of the series and its creators. ZEE5 has already filed legal action against the individuals involved and also plans to initiate criminal proceedings for violating legal norms and publishing defamatory statements.

ZEE5 Warns Public Against Misinformation

ZEE5 urged the media, public, and stakeholders to avoid circulating or supporting false claims made by Mr. Dimmalla and his supporters. The platform reaffirmed its dedication to creating original content legally and ethically and expressed confidence in the court to reveal the truth.

With this strong and clear response, ZEE5 continues to defend its reputation and creative integrity using every legal channel available.
