Soon after Shirish Kunder's psychological thriller film Kriti was taken down from YouTube, it is now being reported that Nepali filmmaker Aneel Neupane's short film BOB from which the former has been allegedly lifted, has also been taken down.
In the plagiarism controversy surrounding the plot of Kriti, the makers have come out with an official statement. The producers of Kriti, Muvizz.com, have already initiated legal proceedings against Neupane and also plan to file a defamation suit against him.
The makers have asked Neupane to substantiate his allegations with facts which he has apparently failed to. So far, Neupane has also not replied to the legal communication by the makers of Kriti.
The producers of Kriti further state that BOB was initially released online with a private key to the director's close friends, none of whom are known to anyone involved in the production of Kriti to the best of their knowledge. If otherwise, they would like to know who amongst those with access shared the private key and more importantly to whom was it shared with.
The statement also says that they have extensive proof of the fact that Kriti was shot in February 2016 while BOB was published on YouTube in May 2016. Hence the allegations that Kriti is copied from BOB just because it released a month later on YouTube is ridiculous.
The makers have added that the takedown of films from YouTube only proves that the matter is being investigated, and not that the makers are at fault.
In the light of above stated facts, the makers have expressed their conviction in their fans and believe that they will not be wavered by such frivolous allegation, but lend their support to Kriti in making it a bigger success.
Shirish Kunder's Kriti was released online by Kangana Ranaut on June 22 and got a million hits within a single day of it's release. The movie stars Manoj Bajpayee, Radhika Apte and Neha Sharma in the leads.
