Bollywood as a whole is changing and how! From actors taking up challenging roles to filmmakers moving towards content driven cinema, we are loving this new change. Having said that, while the industry is booming with each passing day, a recent report proves that Bollywood still needs to learn a lot. Coming to the point, on Tuesday (October 1), a stand-up comedian namely Vinay Sharma accused the makers of an upcoming comedy film of plagiarism. The movie in question here is titled as Ujda Chaman whose trailer was out on September 30, 2019.

In his post on the micro-blogging site, Sharma wrote, “Been getting messages since yesterday. Writers of Ujda Chaman have simply lifted 2 of my jokes without permission/credits. I wonder what precedence it sets for Bollywood. Just disappointing and sad.” If you see the clip in the tweet, two jokes of the comedian are copied and one of them involves Salman Khan.
