A Celebrated Small Film By Ex Wife Of A Superstar Is NOT Original
Bollywood’s buzzing about a recently released small film that’s getting accolades from all over. It’s a moderate hit at box office but became bigger success on a global streaming platform. It’s a story that’s touched hearts, a film that’s been lauded for its simplicity and profound social message.
But here’s the scoop: this film isn’t all original. Our source informs that the film might just be a copy of a short film by a low-key but talented character actor- director who hails from the south and made a name for himself in Mumbai over the years.
The original? It used to be available for free to watch online, but now it’s gone—like it never existed. Not just the short film but it’s all versions have been taken off from all streaming platforms. There’s talk that the original director was either paid off big time that he couldn’t refuse or was blackmailed and forced to give up his rights.
The director of the hit film, who’s also the ex-wife of a big-time superstar, is getting all the praise without any credit to original creator’s contribution. And her superstar ex, who produced the film, isn’t saying a word about it.
Bollywood’s changed over the years. It can’t copy from Hollywood or regional films anymore because the big global studios are watching. South Indian movies get released in Hindi right away, so no more remakes. Now, it looks like Bollywood’s looking for ideas on these free streaming sites.
It’s a reminder that in Bollywood, the real story isn’t always in the spotlight, and the true creators don’t always get the credit they deserve which is sad.
