Veer, Salman Khan's big Bollywood epic has barely been on the big
screen for a week and it has already run in to trouble!
Pavan
Choudary, a Gurgaon-based writer known for his book titled A Trilogy
of Wisdom is unhappy with the makers of Veer as he believes that the
scriptwriter has blatantly stolen a 'thought' from the Hindi
translation of his book.
According to Choudary, the Trilogy of
his book compromises of Chanakya's political, Confucius' social, and
Kabir's spiritual wisdom. In the Chanakya section he had outlined his
political dream for his country, culminating ofa quote that compares the
country to a 'sone ki chidiya' (a golden goose), a title ancient
India has often been referred to as by a vast range of historians.
However,
he was shocked to find the three line quote spoken, almost word to
word, by Salman Khan in a trailer of Veer. The writer has
consequently filed a case against producer Vijay Galani, director Anil
Sharma, scriptwriter and actor Salman Khan as well as Eros
International.
Choudary has requested for damages but insists
that the main thing he is looking for is the paternity of the idea to be
attributed to him, a rightfully claimed credit in his opinion.
