Co-producers, business partners and fast friends Akshay Kumar and Vipul Shah discovered to their horror that a new Bengali blockbuster ‘Poran Jay Joliya Re’ (PJJR) has blatantly lifted the plot, scenes, even frames and costumes from ‘Namaste London’, without a by-your-leave from the producers.
Shah said: ‘I had no clue about this Bengali film until I read an interview with the film’s producers blatantly admitting to the fact that there were similarities between their Bengali film and our ‘Namaste London’. I took into confidence a large number of friends and advisers in Kolkata who saw the film repeatedly and made a report on the similarities. The copied scenes ran into 5-6 pages in the report!’
Now Shah flies to Kolkata on Sunday to initiate legal action.
