Actors
Riteish
Deshmukh
and
Genelia
D'Souza's
upcoming
comedy
flick,
Mister
Mummy
trailer
has
been
receiving
praise
from
all
corners.
Amidst
all
the
hype
around
it,
the
film
has
become
caught
up
in
controversy.
Akash
Chatterjee,
a
young
producer
based
out
of
Kolkata,
has
alleged
that
Mister
Mummy's
makers
and
T
Series
have
copied
the
concept
and
story
from
him.
Demanding
credit
for
his
story,
the
filmmaker
took
to
his
social
media
page
and
shared
his
script,
which
is
registered
with
the
Screen
Writers'
Association.
Akash,
who
is
the
son
of
Bengali
film
director
Agnidev
Chatterjee,
raised
plagiarism
allegations
against
the
producers
of
the
film.
The
couple
have
earlier
worked
in
a
few
movies
together,
such
as
Tere
Naal
Love
Ho
Gaya,
Masti,
and
Tujhe
Meri
Kasam,
which
was
their
debut
film.
Akash
posted
screenshots
of
conversations
he
had
with
T-Series
on
his
Facebook
page
and
wrote,
"We
had
a
detailed
discussion
with
T-Series
in
2020
regarding
my
film
Pet
Se
and
they
had
agreed
to
Co
Produce.
Later
they
come
up
with
their
sh**
version
(without
any
logic)
of
my
film.
My
Story
and
concept
is
registered
with
SWA,
Mumbai.

#CreditDue." The
photos
shared
by
the
young
producer
show
Bollywood
actor
Ayushmann
Khurrana
in
the
mock
poster.
He
further
added
that
after
the
discussion
there
was
no
further
initiative
from
the
producers' side.
After
watching
Mister
Mummy's
trailer,
Akash
realised
that
its
story
is
similar
to
the
one
he
had
shared
with
the
producers
of
Mister
Mummy
back
in
2019.
The
Kolkata
filmmaker
claimed
that
he
had
earlier
come
up
with
a
script
that
tells
the
story
of
a
man
who
gets
pregnant
under
mysterious
circumstances.
He
further
added
that
he
titled
his
story
as
Vicky
Pet
Se.
Akash's
accusations
came
after
the
Mister
Mummy
trailer
was
dropped
on
the
internet.
The
trailer
shows
Riteish
as
a
pregnant
man
and
Mahesh
Manjrekar
playing
a
doctor.
Directed
by
Shaad
Ali,
it
also
features
Genelia
D'Souza
and
Ila
Arun
in
key
roles.
Internet
users
flooded
the
comment
section
with
supportive
messages.
One
internet
user
said,
"Bhai
dont
let
them
get
away
so
easily
with
this.
And
tui
#
toh
diyechis,I
guess
you
should
tag
T
Series
too
in
the
post." Another
