What's the whole story? RS's plagiarism allegation against Dhurandhar 2
On April 1, filmmaker Santosh Kumar RS claimed that the makers of Dhurandhar: The Revenge had copied the script that he had written in 2013. Accusing Dhar of plagiarising his script, the filmmaker claimed that the film's story is quite similar to a script he wrote in 2023. He noticed the resemblance between his script and the movie only after watching it.
He also claimed that the script titled D Saheb was officially registered with the Screenwriters Association on November 20.
"You all might have watched Dhurandhar 2. It is working very well everywhere. After watching the movie, I came to know that it is my script and story. I had written it with a lot of hard work in 2023," he said.
Further adding, the filmmaker said that he "had narrated it to many companies," including T-Series, Sony Pictures, Dharma Productions, and Zee Studios, "because I was told that if I need big actors in the film, there has to be a corporate organisation backing it."
