Ekta
Kapoor
has
many
reasons
to
smile.
On
7th
March,
she
won
her
case
filed
against
the
producer
of
Sun
Zarra,
Salim
Akhtar.
Kapoor
had
alleged
that
the
film
Sun
Zarra
was
a
remake
of
the
Tamil
hit
Tullamta
Mannum
Tullam,
whose
rights
were
purchased
by
Balaji
Telefilms.
Kapoor
was
to
remake
the
film
in
Hindi
titled
Kya
Love
Story
Hai,
directed
by
Satish
Kaushik.
Balaji
Telefilms
tried
to
prevent
the
film
from
releasing.
However,
Akhtar
went
ahead
and
released
it.
Salim
Akhtar
refused
to
showcase
the
film
to
Balaji,
before
its
release.
Hence,
the
representatives
at
Balaji
were
able
to
see
the
film
only
after
its
release.
Thereafter,
it
was
confirmed
that
Sun
Zarra
was
indeed
a
remake
of
the
Tamil
film.
When
Akhtar
met
Jeetendra
Kapoor
over
this
matter,
he
asked
him
to
change
his
film,
if
he
thought
it
was
similar,
since
Balaji
had
not
yet
started
the
film.
However,
they
didn't
want
any
changes
since
they
had
lawfully
bought
the
rights
of
the
Tamil
original.
Ekta's
belief
in
the
legal
system
has
strengthened
since
this
ruling
was
passed.
Kya
Love
Story
Hai
will
now
have
a
whole
new
screenplay.
It
will
star
Tusshar
Kapoor
and
Ayesha
Takia,
in
lead
roles.
