Short film, long trouble: Kunder's short film 'Kriti', which has courted controversy over allegations of plagiarism by Nepalese filmmaker Aneel Neupane, has been pulled down by YouTube. YouTube removed the psychological thriller - starring Manoj Bajpayee, Radhika Apte and Neha Sharma - on Tuesday stating, "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Aneel Neupane."
Shirish Kunder on Monday filed a legal notice against the Nepali filmmaker who claimed that 'Kriti' is a copy of his film 'Bob'. He has also sought a written apology. After Kunder's 'Kriti' started garnering plaudits on social media, Nepali filmmaker Aneel Neupane accused him of "practically stealing the plot" of his movie 'Bob'.
