In a first of its kind act against plagiarism, Sony Pictures may sue K Sera Sera Pictures and Eros Entertainment for making Partner, a shameless rip off of their Hollywood production Hitch, which starred Will Smith in the lead.
The company is thinking of taking the production houses to the court and settle for nothing less than 30 million dollars.
At the same time, Partner continues to do great business worldwide with a spectacular opening at the box office. Director David Dhawan and producer Sohail Khan refused to pass a comment on this issue. All we can do is keep our fingers crossed, so that this remains the first and last instance of plagiarism in Bollywood.
