Shirish Kunder Sends Legal Notice To Nepali Filmmaker Aneel Neupane

Shirish Kunder is not happy with the controversy on his short film ‘Kriti. The short film was released in June and was taken down from Youtube two days later which made him send a legal notice to Aneel Neupane. Aneel, a Nepali filmmaker, claimed that Kunder has lifted the story from his short film ‘Bob’.

Shirish said, "It takes the fun out of everything. There were great reviews and lots of appreciation, and suddenly, there is this irritation. We released the film in June, but we shot it in February. For almost six months before that, the project was being put together. Then, we decided on the release date”.

He further added, “When you make a movie professionally, it is a long process. I want the matter to be investigated. I will take it to the end. Also, my film released in June and their film was available before that, but only for private viewing. After my movie released, it could be accessed”. ‘Kriti’ is a psychological thriller which features Manoj Bajpayee, Radhika Apte and Neha Sharma in lead roles.
