The heat with the Bollywood film “New York” plagiarism scandal has switched teams. Now Yashraj films are putting the allegations on Suchita Bhatia.
Initially, the scandal set off when Suchita Bhatia accused Yashraj films of taking a script that Bhatia suggested 3 years ago for what is now the film“New York.”
“New York” writer Kabir Khan speaks out on the latest with the situation and how it showcases Bhatia’s disparity with her intentions. In a Times of India article he says, “This is really unfortunate. I wonder which cave this girl was living in so far to suddenly wake up five days after our film released to realize that “New York” is about three friends against a 9/11 backdrop.”
It turns out that Bhatia is somewhat of a fame snatcher, working the timing of the production to her advantage. “It’s a great method of getting her 15 minutes of fame. Yes, we’re planning to sue her and make an example of this sort of post-success harassment that filmmakers go through,” says Khan.
The director of “New York” is fuming about the allegations of plagiarism made against him. He hopes that he can rectify the situation by, in turn, suing Bhatia. He says, “Why does one have to keep fighting to protect one’s integrity? By suing this girl I hope to discourage such frivolous charges in the future.”
