Friday, 18th Dec 2015, 5:31 PM IST Recently, writer-filmmaker Akashaditya Lama had filed a case against Ashutosh Gowariker claiming that ‘Mohenjo Daro’ is his script. The first hearing took place on 17th Dec and the lawyers representing Gowariker, producers UTV Films and Disney India refused to share the script. Lama's lawyer, Sunil Shukla said, "On the basis of the allegations made by my client Akashaditya Lama that Mr Ashutosh Gowariker has stolen his story, we extended a proposal to exchange each other's scripts to verify if there was any similarity in the content. However, Mr Gowariker's lawyers refused to comply and raised doubts of their malicious intent." Lama said, "We want the makers to stop shooting. We will fight till the end.” The filmmaker also stated that the climax of his previous historical romance, ‘Jodhaa Akbar’, was lifted from the climax of Lama's original ‘Mohenjo Daro’ script. "My lawyer challenged them to present evidence from any historical document that mentions Akbar involved in one-on-one combat with Sharifuddin Hussain, to which, Ashutosh's lawyer said, 'Please don't challenge me, I'm not Gowariker’," the filmmaker added.
