Copyright Violation Complaint Filed Against Chhapaak

As per reports, Bharti's complaint claims that he and his son planned to produce a film based on an acid attack survivor. The two had even registered the film under the title 'Black Day' in May 2015. The complainant alleged that he had approached several actors like Kangana Ranaut and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to star in it.

According to Bharti, he had left a copy of the script in the offices of Fox Star Studio, Mriga Films, and Ka Production, who had shown interest to make the film. However, he later learnt that a separate film on the subject was being made. Bharti alleges that the script has been modified and adapted for Chhapaak.
