With
only
a
few
days
left
for
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali"s
Guzaarish
to
hit
the
theatres,
copyright
controversy
has
hit
the
film.
Recently,
noted
novelist
Dayanand
Raajan
accused
Guzaarish
writer
of
lifting
the
core
theme
of
his
new
book
for
the
plot
of
the
movie.
Dayanand
said
that
Guzaarish
has
a
striking
similarity
to
the
plot
line
and
characters
of
his
novel.
Dayanand
also
said
that
he
read
his
new
novel
to
some
Bollywood
personalities
and
the
writer
of
Guzaarish
must
have
lifted
his
idea
through
a
common
friend.
The
makers
of
Guzaarish
have
been
served
with
a
seven-day
notice
period
after
which
Dayanand
will
go
to
the
court
for
stay
order
on
the
film.
Just
like
Dayanand"s
unpublished
novel,
in
Guzaarish
too,
the
hero
meets
an
accident
and
becomes
immobilized
for
the
rest
of
his
life.
Both
the
film
and
novel
are
set
in
the
backdrop
of
Goa
with
Christianity
as
a
predominant
theme.
While
in
Guzaarish,
the
hero
is
a
famous
magician,
in
the
novel
he
is
a
popular
dancer.
Dayanand
also
said
that
in
his
novel
the
story
is
told
through
a
series
of
flashbacks,
which
has
an
uncanny
resemblance
to
Guzaarish.
Let
us
hope
that
the
plagiarism
conflict
gets
resolved
quickly.
Guzaarish
deals
with
the
moral
and
emotional
implications
of
euthanasia
and
mercy
killing.
The
movie
stars
Hrithik
Roshan
and
Aishwarya
Bachchan
in
the
lead
roles.
