    Plagiarism row: Producer plans legal action against 'Vicky Vidya Ka...'

    What's the story

    Sanjay Tiwari, a film producer, has accused director Raaj Shaandilyaa of plagiarizing a film concept he registered in 2015 for the upcoming movie Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.

    Despite Shaandilyaa's defense, Tiwari is considering legal action to protect his intellectual property rights.

    The film stars Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri and has recently been embroiled in controversy due to these allegations.

    Dispute details

    Tiwari's claims and Shaandilyaa's defense in plagiarism dispute

    Tiwari publicly accused Shaandilyaa of lifting his idea for Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, which he had registered months before Shaandilyaa.

    The concept in question is Sex Hai Toh Life Hai...? registered by Gulbanu Khan in 2015.

    In response, Shaandilyaa's team defended themselves by stating that they had filed their own concept named Uthal-Poothal in October 2015, attributed to Shaandilyaa and Yusuf Ali Khan.

    Legal considerations

    Tiwari refutes Shaandilyaa's defense, considers legal action

    Tiwari refuted Shaandilyaa's defense by stating that he had registered his idea two months earlier than Shaandilyaa's team.

    He emphasized the importance of an original idea and expressed disappointment over his creative effort being used without due credit.

    "I will consider moving to the High Court to ban the film if necessary, but I don't want to cause harm to anyone," Tiwari told TOI when questioned about potential legal action.

    SWA critique

    Tiwari's dissatisfaction with Screenwriters Association procedures

    Tiwari expressed his dissatisfaction with the Screenwriters Association (SWA) procedures, describing them as outdated and inefficient for resolving such conflicts.

    "I approached them, but I was told to wait until after the film's release to evaluate the situation," he clarified.

    He further criticized their work culture in this digital age despite having a large membership.
