A
local
court
in
Jaipur
has
asked
the
makers
of
actor
Akshay
Kumar's
Toilet
Ek
Prem
Katha
to
file
a
reply
to
the
charge
of
violation
of
the
Copyright
Act
by
July
31.
A
copyright
infringement
case
was
brought
up
by
Jaipur-based
filmmaker
Pratik
Sharma
against
Plan
C
Studios,
an
alliance
between
Reliance
Entertainment
and
Friday
Filmworks
helmed
by
Neeraj
Pandey
and
Shital
Bhatia,
and
Viacom18
on
July
7
in
a
Jaipur
Metropolitan
Court.
Sharma
alleged
that
the
makers
have
lifed
the
punchline
and
the
subject
from
his
film
"Gutrun
Gutar
Gun".
"Today,
Jaipur
Metropolitan
Court
has
asked
to
file
a
reply
or
enter
into
arguments
in
the
case
of
copyright
violation
by
11
a.m.
July
31," G.D.
Bansal,
advocate
of
Sharma,
told
IANS.
The
court
had
earlier
issued
a
notice
returnable
on
July
22.
But
as
a
strike
by
the
clerical
staff
was
going
on,
the
court
gave
the
respondents
July
26
as
a
new
date
for
filing
their
reply.
Toilet:
Ek
Prem
Katha,
directed
by
Shree
Narayan
Singh,
deals
with
the
need
of
sanitisation
in
India
and
is
based
on
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi's
Swachh
Bharat
campaign.
It
features
Bhumi
Pednekar
with
Akshay
Kumar.
