Producer Mehmood Ali, who recently organised a grand muhurat for his upcoming Bhojpuri film Don starring Ravi Kishan and Nagma, may be in for trouble.
Nariman Films, the producers of the original Don, have issued a public notice against the Bhojpuri version for illegally trying to remake their film without securing the rights to do so, says a media report.
Says Mehmood, "We are yet to get a legal notice, but it was improper for them to issue a public notice like this claiming that our film is inspired by their original, especially when they haven't even seen a single frame of my film.
I agree we have been inspired by the Amitabh classic, but our language, treatment, location and everything else will be different."
