Ayushmann
Khurrana's
upcoming
film,
'Bala',
has
landed
in
a
controversy.
Abhishek
Pathak,
the
director
of
'Ujda
Chaman',
accused
Bala
of
being
too
similar
to
his,
to
be
ignored.
The
director
says
that
everything,
from
the
poster,
to
its
dialogues,
situation
and
everything
is
almost
the
same
in
both
the
movies.
Earlier,
since
Ujda
Chaman
was
going
to
release
first,
Pathak
said
that
it
was
Bala's
makers
who
had
to
own
up
responsibility
for
the
similarity
in
its
concept.
But
now
that
Bala
will
be
releasing
a
week
before
Ujda
Chaman,
Pathak
is
saddened
by
these
actions.
Abhishek
Pathak
Feels
It
Is
The
Makers
Of
Bala
Who
Should
Take
Responsibility
Pathak
told
PTI,
"There
are
some
similarities
that
can
be
seen
between
Bala
and
Ujda
Chaman.
I
don't
know
what's
happening.
I
came
with
my
trailer
on
October
1
and
they
came
out
with
it
around
10-11
October," and
added,
"So
this
question
should
be
asked
to
them
that
how
is
it
similar?
If
they
had
seen
my
trailer,
they
should
have
done
something...
at
least,
change
something."
Bala
Is
Claimed
To
Be
Similar
To
Kannada
Movie
'Ondu
Motteya
Kathe'
Ujda
Chaman
is
a
remake
of
the
Kannada
movie
‘Ondu
Motteya
Kathe',
featuring
Sunny
Singh.
Pathak
continued,
"I
know
the
original
film
so
well
and
mine
is
an
official
remake.
People
don't
know
yet,
because
they
are
just
seeing
the
trailer,
but
I
know.
I
can
see
the
glimpses
of
the
original
film
in
that
trailer
(Bala).
So,
I
was
like
fine,
let
the
legal
team
handle
it."
Abhishek
Pathak
Talks
About
Legal
Action
Regarding
legal
action
against
the
makers
of
Bala,
he
said,
"We
are
in
discussions
with
my
team
right
now.
We
had
sent
them
a
notice
when
we
bought
the
rights,
early
2019
because
even
their
announcement
had
come
around
the
same
time.
I
gave
them
all
the
documents
because
their
film
sounded
similar.
'Everything
Is
Similar'
"They
said
except
for
the
character
being
bald,
nothing
is
similar
and
I
bought
their
words.
But
now
that
doesn't
seem
to
be
the
case.
Dialogues,
situation,
everything
seems
similar
and
even
people
have
caught
it,"
he
added.
Bala
was
originally
scheduled
to
release
on
November
15,
a
week
after
Ujda
Chaman,
but
is
now
going
to
release
a
day
before
the
latter.
Pathak
feels
the
filmmakers
are
trying
to
prove
a
point
that
they
'are
the
first
ones
to
do
this',
by
preponing
the
release
date.
Ujda
Chaman
is
scheduled
for
release
on
November
8.
