Director Jagmohan Mundhra has clarified that Raju Kher's "Wow" has no similarity whatsoever with his upcoming Aishwarya Rai-starrer, "Provoked".

"It is ridiculous that people are drawing parallels between the two films without knowing their stories. The fact is that 'Provoked' is a story on marital abuse based on Kiranjit Alhuwalia's 'A Circle Of Lights', of which we acquired the exclusive rights," told Mundhra.

"On the other hand, from what I know of 'Wow', the film tells the story of three girls who go to London to pursue their dream of starting their own music band. Anupam Kher helps them fulfil their dream and offers them shelter at his home. The similarity is only to the extent that one of the three girls in 'Wow' has a story of marital discord. I am surprised that no one has bothered to check out the facts either with me or Kher's office before writing about it," Mundhra reveals.

"Provoked" is being lined up for a mid-November release, he said.
