Filing a petition in Delhi High Court, a writer has alleged that the story of blockbuster "PK" is copied from his novel. Accusing plagiarism, the writer has demanded a crore in compensation from producers and script writer of the film.
Starring Amir Khan in the lead role, "PK" is directed and produced by Rajkumar Hirani, while Vidhu Vinod Chopra is a co-producer. Script writer Abhijit Joshi has penned dialogues and scenes for this successful movie that collected nearly 615 crores gross by now. A hindi novelist, author Kapil Isapuri claimed in court that PK is based on his novel 'Faristha' that got released in 2013. He filed a plea, citing that the makers have copied almost 17 scenes from his novel with minor changes. The novel deals with blind belief on Godmen and describes religions as creation of man.
Kapil has sought 1 crore rupees in damages from producers Vidhu Vinod Chopra, director Raju Hirani and writer Abhijit Joshi. Cinema lovers however expressed a surprise at this claim as the shooting of "PK" started much before this novel was released. We have to see what Raju Hirani says anyway.
