A DNA report says that in an interview to a tabloid, Gupta revealed the plot of the film where Aishwarya will play a lawyer, Irrfan Khan a suspended cop and John Abraham will do an important cameo. The report adds that the plot of Jazbaa is similar to a South Korean crime thriller titled Seven Days. While Gupta has admitted that he has purchased the remake rights of a film, he has refused to name the original movie.
However, this is not the first time that Gupta is inspired by a Korean film. His previous film Zinda that starred Sanjay Dutt and John Abraham was also a copy of South Korean film Old Boy.
