His Storyy's poster was released recently by ALTBalaji which talks about a complicated relationship between two men and their love for each other. While many raved about its bold storyline, here's someone who has proved the poster is a blatant copy of his own movie. Sudhanshu Saria, the writer-producer of Loev film has accused Ekta Kapoor and Alt Balaji of lifting his poster for His Storyy. He isn't wrong though. Both of them do look similar including the treatment. His Storyy Teaser: Satyadeep Mishra and Priya Mani Raj’s ALTBalaji Drama Explores Sexuality and Infidelity (Watch Video)
Sudhanshu couldn't believe it when he saw what happened. He revealed that it took them 13 months to come up with the artwork that Ekta Kapoor and ALTBalaji team just picked up 'Without any decency'. He is glad they loved Loev's poster and are attempting a homosexual love story but why copy? Our question exactly.

WHY IS THIS INDUSTRY LIKE THIS?
Woke up to find that our painstakingly illustrated, original poster for @loevfilm has just been blatantly ripped off by the geniuses at @altbalaji @ZEE5Premium for their show #HisStoryy // Thread pic.twitter.com/ljQ9vNSa0a

Many months of hardwork and a copy
Thirteen months of back and forth and so many drafts by the amazing minds at @TalkPigeonCo with oversight by @jahanbakshi and amazingly illustrated by artist @rohanpore just ripped off without any decency. (2)

Appreciation doesn't mean plagiarism
Am glad they liked our poster; am glad they're telling a queer story but why do this? What is the need? We made our poster with no funds to speak of. Why have a massive machinery like @altbalaji @ZEE5India if you can't even come up with your own poster? (3)
