The Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation (EBC) has announced that it will soon premiere the much-anticipated film adaptation of 'Fikir Eske Mekabir' after a legal resolution. The corporation emphasized its commitment to honoring the legacy of the author, Dr. Hadis Alemayehu, by producing the film with respect to his vision and in a way that upholds national pride and historical preservation. According to EBC, its efforts were met with praise from Dr. Hadis Alemayehu himself, recognizing the narrative's faithful adaptation.

However, the screening faced legal challenges when individuals claiming to be heirs of Dr. Hadis Alemayehu sought to block the film’s release. A court initially issued an order in September 2024 to halt the film. EBC contested this decision, arguing for the film's right to air. On 18 November 2024, the Court ruled in favor of EBC, lifting the suspension and directing the matter to the Federal First Instance Court for further hearings.
