Kartik Aaryan’s next ‘Captain India’ was recently announced by Ronnie Screwvala and Harman Baweja. Scam 1992’s Hansal Mehta is set to direct the film. But, before even the shoot could start, it’s making the headlines for not-so-right reasons. Producer Subhash Kale accused the makers of plagiarism as he thinks the film looks too similar to his dream project ‘Operation Yemen’.
Occurred in 2015, General V K Singh led the operation mentioned above to evacuate Indian citizens from Yemen during the Yemeni crisis. After the poster reveals, Subash feels the makers of ‘Captain India’ are making the movie around the same plot, and he doesn’t want to be in the ‘Scam 1992 VS The Big Bull’ kind of scenario.
As per reports, Subhash Kale said, “We have been working since 2016 on this project. The cousin of our director Sanjay Sankla was the pilot on this mission. Sanjay Sankla has been a reputed editor and has worked on nearly 95 films. We took 9 months to pen the script. We even got ‘Mission Mangal’ (2019) writer Nidhi Singh Dharma on board. Our pre-production was nearly done. I wonder where the idea got leaked from. This episode is in the public domain, but we were the first ones to register at the Screenwriters Association (SWA).”
He then added, “Captain India waalon ne toh script likhna shuru bhi nahi kiya. They had dates of Kartik Aaryan. The idea has not leaked from our side because we have signed a confidentiality agreement with everyone associated.” —Bollywood Hungama
