Director Manish Gupta is miffed over rumours about his second directorial venture "Saab Chai Pani" allegedly bearing resemblance to the Om Puri starrer "Ardh Satya".

"I don't know from where these rumours have sprung up. It is really very distressing and disturbing. In 'Ardh Satya', Om Puri plays an honest cop who is frustrated by the system whereas my film shows Sonu Sood accepting bribes and succumbing to societal pressures," says Gupta.

"Sonu turns corrupt owing to varied reasons. His wife is not happy with their way of life. It shows how professional life affects marital life and vice versa," he says, dismissing the allegations.

The director, however, is all charged about his forthcoming film "Hostel", which deals with ragging in college hostels.

"'Hostel' is a commercial film about a student, played by Vatsal Seth, who enters a notorious hostel and is ragged by his seniors. It's not just about one incident but a string of incidents and is a real hard-hitting action film. It shows how students are tortured and harassed in the name of ragging," he reveals.

"Hostel" is also said to have a few rather bold scenes.

"There is one scene where Vatsal is made to strip but it has been shot in a decent manner. Vatsal was very apprehensive initially, but I managed to convince him. I hope some good comes out of 'Hostel'," he adds.

Not many know that it was one horrific incident that prompted Gupta to make "Hostel".

"I actually conceived the idea 13 years back when I was doing my engineering. I met this one guy who was repeatedly raped every night. I was disgusted and extremely disturbed. It was very gross and I can't get over it till date. That's when I decided that I wanted to make a film on it," says the director.
