Monday, 9th Mar 2015, 2:01 PM IST After watching the trailer of Emraan Hashmi starrer ‘Mr. X’, people started stating on social networking websites that it might be a copy of Hollywood flick ‘Hollow Man’. However, director Vikram Bhatt and producer Mahesh Bhatt recently cleared that the film is not a copy of the Hollywood movie. Vikram said, "Indian filmmakers are trying to create original, quality stuff so it's sad when someone tries to bring down your film based on a two minute teaser. Just because ‘Krissh’ flies, does it make him ‘Spiderman’?" There is a scene in the film where an orange paint is thrown on the invisible Hashmi and that scene is said to be very much similar to a scene in ‘Hollow Man’. Talking about that scene, Vikram said, "He's visible through a lot of other mediums, underwater for instance. I don't even remember what ‘Hollow Man’ is about." Mahesh Bhatt added, "‘Mr X’ is not ‘Hollow Man’ or ‘Mr India’ reinvented but grew from a nostalgic yearning to revisit the ‘Mr. X’ franchisee. It had Ashok Kumar playing an invisible man, was produced by GP Sippy and directed by my father Nanabhai Bhatt in 1957."
