The
news
report
states
that
Aditya
Chopra
and
karan
johar
are
making
films
with
similar
subjects
and
shooting
at
the
same
location.
Let's
get
more
specific:
The
two
filmmakers
are
making
different
films
based
on
the
same
Hollywood
film
–
Arlington
Road.
While
Adi's
film
New
York
is
already
complete
(the
film
has
been
shot
in
Philadelphia)
and
will
be
Yash
Raj's
first
release
in
2009,
Karan
has
commenced
the
shooting
of
his
film,
also
in
Philadelphia.
"Just
because
the
two
films
are
shot
at
the
same
location
doesn't
mean
they
have
similar
subjects," karan
johar
sets
the
record
straight,
"Earlier,
they
said
Kal
Ho
Naa
Ho
was
Anand.
Then
they
said
Dostana
was
I
Now
Pronounce
You
Chuck
&
Larry.
Now
it's
Arlington
Road.
Why
should
we
copy
movies?
Can't
we
come
up
with
original
stuff?"
Karan
continues
in
the
same
breath,
"Adi
and
I
are
best
friends.
Do
you
think
we
would
go
to
the
extent
of
choosing
the
same
story?
Just
because
the
two
films
have
the
backdrop
of
terrorism
doesn't
mean
they
are
similar
in
content.
Going
by
this
logic,
even
Dilwale
Dulhaniya
Le
Jaayenge,
Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai,
Mohabbatein
and
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi
have
similar
stories
since
they
belong
to
the
same
genre."
