With
Toonpur
Ka
Superrhero
and
Tees
Maar
Khan
slated
for
release
this
Friday,
fans
can
only
ponder
over
which
film
would
rip
the
box-office
open
this
week.
So,
would
Ajay's
swagger
attract
spectators
again
with
him
having
another
winning
streak,
or
will
Katrina
shine
in
all
her
glory
and
sway
the
audiences
with
her
youthfulness?
Besides
releasing
on
the
same
day,
the
films
have
something
else
in
common,
they
both
have
garnered
their
fair
share
of
controversies,
the
latest
being
the
animation
hybrid
Toonpur
Ka
Superrhero.
The
first
controversy
to
hit
TKS
was
that
the
makers
of
Ra.One
claimed
that
both
the
films
have
the
same
plot,
Kireet
Khurana
director
of
the
film
said,
"It's
possible
that
they
might
have
a
similar
story,
I
don't
know
what
Shahrukh
Khan's
script
is
about
but
our
script
is
not
inspired
by
anyone,
it's
an
original
script."
The
second
argument
to
hit
the
makers
of
TKS
is
regarding
Guppy,
one
of
the
characters
in
the
film
who
constantly
harasses
The
Devtoons
by
breaking
out
into
a
jingle.
This
apparently,
has
not
gone
down
well
with
veteran
composer
Bappi
Lahiri
who
believes
the
character
is
trying
to
make
fun
of
his
real
life
personality.
The
singer-music
composer
is
in
fact
taking
legal
action
for
defamation.
Kireet
Khurana,
director
of
the
film,
who
was
in
Hyderabad,
came
home
to
find
a
legal
notice
in
his
inbox,
appalled
he
said,
"I
don't
think
that
there
are
any
marked
similarities
but
for
the
record,
Guppy
wears
an
Elvis
type
getup
and
as
an
animator
we
derive
inspirations
from
various
sources.
Like
the
lights
on
Guppy's
outfit
has
been
inspired
from
the
Amitabh
Bachchan
song
'Saara
Zamaana'
from
the
film
Yaarana." Kireet
also
sheds
light
on
the
characters
cacophonic
singing
skills
which
is
all
attributed
from
Astrix.
"We
are
getting
tremendous
response,
I
got
back
from
R
Mall
in
Mumbai,
and
everywhere,
kids
and
their
families
were
applauding
the
film." Kireet
remarks
excitedly
waiting
for
the
films
release.
"I
think
things
are
looking
very
good,
it's
very
over
whelming,"
says
the
debutant
director.
