Plea in HC accuses ‘PK’ makers of plagiarism, seeks Rs 1 crore By Latest Bollywood Songs


Like discussions between Anushka and her parents regarding inter-religious marriage, broadcasting insignificant programmes for raising TRP by media and how an attire can confuse people of a person’s religion are among the sequences that have been taken from his novel. “Around 17 prominent scenes in the film have been taken from my book, which got published last year. I completed my novel in 2009 and gave it to various publications in Delhi and Lucknow for publishing it. The story must have leaked from there,” the writer claimed. “The overall production of the film shows reproduction of the expression of ideas, scenes and characters of the novel of plaintiff (Isapuri) was not possible without having the access to the novel of the plaintiff. “As the typed copies of the novel were available since 2009 and since 2013 novel was available in the market as such there was every opportunity for the film makers to copy the novel,” the petition has said. The makers of ‘PK’ have not commented on the issue so far. This is not the first time Hirani has faced trouble from a writer. Chetan Bhagat had accused the makers of ‘3 Idiots’ of not giving him proper credit for ‘Five Point Someone’, which became the basis for the movie.
