Journalist-turned-filmmaker Amitabh Parashar has sent a legal notice to T-series, accusing the production house of stealing the idea of his script for its new film Khandaani Shafakhana, starring Sonakshi Sinha and Anu Kapoor.
In his notice, sent through his advocate, Parashar said he approached T-Series last year with the idea of a film based on streetside sex shops and subsequently mailed a soft copy of his script for which he received an acknowledgment.
Bhushan Kumar of T-Series has rubbished the allegation.
“It’s totally false as what film we are making is totally different. No similarity at all. I don’t know how and why, without knowing our film, he is claiming that,” Kumar told PTI.
According to Parashar, he developed the idea of a comedy film, titled Bhag Mohabbat, which revolves around the world of street sex doctors, following his feature length documentary “Death of a Sex Doctor” which he had made after extensive, four-year research on roadside sex shops.
Parashar, who won the National Film Award for his documentary The Eyes of Darkness, said he got his script registered with the Screen Writer’s Association, Mumbai. (PTI)
