Mumbai: "Padman" director R Balki has
brushed off allegations of plagiarism against his recently-
released film, calling the claims "silly" and "foolish".
Writer Ripu Daman Jaiswal has accused the makers of the
Akshay Kumar-Radhika Apte starrer of copying 11 scenes from a
script that he had written.
"I remember I was in the library when I wrote this
dialogue and was truly elated. Honestly, I surprised myself
that day. Tell me, how on earth can you steal someone's
dialogue? This is unfair," he had tweeted.
The writer also said that he has filed an FIR against
Akshay and the filmmakers.
"R Balki! I tried everything! I even filed a police
complaint at Cuffe Parade station on 23rd of Jan against
everyone. Tell me, what more can I do?
