This is not something new in the Bollywood history and specially when we talk about a renowned film camp like Vishesh Films. But this time, the act of copyright infringement is of a different style in the sense that the controversial movie Jannat - 2 is alleged to be based upon the script written by a Mumbai-based writer Kapil Chopra.
Allegations.
Before release of the movie Jannat -2, in May this year, Kapil Chopra filed a case of
plagiarism against the Bhatts, the makers of Jannat 2, alleging them to have stolen his script for the same, which he
had with the Film Writers Association way
back in 2007.
In a court hearing in the month of July, it was revealed that Chopra had met Jannat 2's
director Kunal Deshmukh a couple of times when he narrated his story,
also he had left a bound copy of the script with the director. But he got no response from the director.
Remedy Granted.
As a remedy granted by the Bombay High Court to the complainant, it ordered the
Bhatts to deposit Rs 10 lakh, as the amount for the conditional order
that they can release the satellite rights of Jannat 2.
