Both the actors are having one of their career's most awaited films ready for release. SRK's Adity Chopra directed Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (12th Dec) and Aamir's AR. Murugadoss directed Ghajini (25th Dec) both are carrying great reports. Now at the same time both the actors are facing allegations of plagiarism against them.
India's Maths genius Shakuntala Devi has accused Aamir Khan of stealing her idea for his directorial debut film, Taare Zameen Par.
While writer Ajay Monga whose recently written Fashion opened to rave reviews had earlier accused Farah Khan and SRK's Red Chillies Entertainment of stealing his script idea for Om Shanti Om from his script, The Silent Movie, is now getting good support from the Film Writers' Association (FWA).
Shakuntala has accused Aamir of borrowing ideas from her book, In The Wonderland Of Numbers, and not given her any credit for it. The mathematics wizard now plans to produce her own film based on the story from which some of the things shown in Taare Zameen Par have been taken.
Writer Ajay Monga v/s OSO case has now taken an interesting turn with The Film Writers' Association (FWA) going back on its earlier decision and claiming that it has found the first half of OSO very similar to Monga's script.
Although the case is still pending in the court, this development (of the FWA admitting similarity in the film and Ajay Monga's script) could be crucial in deciding the ultimate fate of the case.
Now it remains to be seen how these 2 superstars come clean out of this unwarranted mess. -
