| |||
Saturday, 8th April 2017, 1:44 PM IST Irrfan Khan’s ‘Hindi Medium’ may be ready and up for release, but not so easily, as his movie has now been accused of plagiarism. Soon after the ‘Hindi Medium’ trailer was released, there were accusations that this Saket Chaudhary directorial was a copy of 2014 Bengali film, ‘Ramdhanu: The Rainbow’. However the fight hasn’t suddenly emerged. As per reports, on October 4 last year, ‘Ramdhanu’ director Shiboprosad Mukherjee, had informed Mukesh Bhatt, the president of Film & Television Producers Guild of India, to take action against the Saket Chaudhary directorial, ‘Hindi Medium’. Claiming that the film is a copy of ‘Ramdhanu’, he had written: “Recently, we have been informed by a close friend and business associate that they were approached by director Saket Chaudhary and producer Dinesh Vijan to invest in a film which has a storyline similar to ‘Ramdhanu’ with Mr Irrfan Khan in the lead. On being denied, they then approached T-Series for the same. Also, we had contacted Mr Irrfan Khan for the lead role in the Hindi remake of the original Bengali film. He also confirmed that he had been offered a similar role in a similar story. Kindly note we have not given anybody any language-remake right other than Malayalam and would request you to kindly look into the matter as we consider this to be an infringement of copyright.” Nowyou can enjoy ad-free experience by downloading India’s first Box Office mobileapp from here –Android: and iOS: bit.ly/BOCapsuleiOSApp |
