Filmmaker Akash Chatterjee has accused the creators of the upcoming movie Mister Mummy of plagiarising his work. He claimed in a series of photos posted on Facebook that the plot of the Riteish Deshmukh-starring film was lifted verbatim from the script he had given the production company in 2020.“The writer Nirnimesh Dubey and I were in touch with Krishan Kumar since 2020. He agreed to co-produce the film as he really liked the concept,” he tells us, adding, “We told the production house, ‘Either you do this film with us or we’ll make it’. But, Covid happened. Everything was put on hold and I didn’t hear anything about it.”

Even before meeting with the production company, Chatterjee claims he registered the movie, which was initially titled Vicky Pet Se, with the Screenplay Writers’ Association, believing there was no need to be concerned.  But, when he saw the film announcement, with no mention of him, he was disappointed. “At first, I was just shocked…disappointed and could not believe that they would do this to us. They are such well known people and you do not expect something of this sort from them. Also, it does not look good ,” he says, adding, “I am in talks with my lawyers and willing to take a legal actions, if needed. I am neither claiming money nor am I trying to create trouble for the filmmakers and the production house. All I want is credit, which my team and I deserve.”
