A supply near Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi’s team advised us that there’s a lot of anger in the team after watching the Sanya Malhotra starrer. The supply says, “The actors and other members from the team were quite upset and angry when they saw Pagglait. They couldn’t believe that the film is so similar in so many ways to Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi. From the location to the character traits to even camera angles, so many things seem to be copied is what they allege.”
When contacted, Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi’s director Seema Pahwa made it clear that she has no grudges or any criticism. She advised this author, “Mere actors ka naraaz hona jaayaz hai. The team members are a bit disturbed over these developments. However, ours was an original film and so is Pagglait. I would not say that they copied our film. I guess it must be a coincidence. However, some things were in their control. They were aware of Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi and yet, they ignored the similarities. They could have tweaked the script a little. They had the time and opportunity. They have even shot their film in the same house where we shot Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi!”
When requested whether or not she has seen Pagglait, Seema Pahwa stated, “I have not seen it yet but I have got many calls from friends and unit members and their biggest grouse is that even the shooting location has been the same. I am sure because of the similarities, even they (Pagglait makers) must be having a tough time.”
Incidentally, at present, that’s, March 31, Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi is all set to launch digitally, that too on Netflix.
