Unaffected by Copyright Issues, Taapsee Pannu and Team Mission Mangal Continue Shooting

Actress Taapsee Pannu has started working on her next movie Mission Mangal, amidst reports of a copyright lawsuit filed against the movie. Taapsee shared a pic on Instagram where you can only see her back. With braided hair, the actress is seen wearing  a yellow saree and mangalsutra in her neck. It's kinda surprising for because it was only yesterday when the reports of copyright infringement issue came out. Mission Mangal: Lawsuit Filed Against Akshay Kumar-Vidya Balan Starrer Over Copyright Issues.

A US-based filmmaker Radha Bharadwaj has alleged that R Balki production "infringes on the copyright of her original screenplay that she had shared with Atul Kasbekar in 2016". Rekha has alleged that she shared shared a script based on similar lines with Atul Kasbekar's studio, Ellipsis Entertainment and Vidya Balan back in 2016. And now, the actress is a part of another project (Mission Mangal) based on the same storyline. "There are hundreds of ways to tell the story of Mangalyaan, but Radha came up with the angle of focusing on the women engineers working on the mission," said Rekha's lawyer, Srishti Ojha. Bharadwaj recently completed shooting her film that's based on the same story and is titled Space MOMs.

While it was being assumed that the makers of Mission Mangal would out the shooting on halt, looks like there's no stopping to them! We are yet to hear from Vidya Balan, Akshay Kumar and the entire cast of Mission Mangal on the case.
