Ek Villain
is one of the most anticipated romantic thriller of this season that has been
directed by Mohit Suri and stars Sidharth Malhotra, Shraddha
Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh, who makes his debut as an antagonist
with this film. It is produced by Ekta
Kapoor and Shobha
Kapoor under Balaji Motion Pictures
and ALT Entertainment.
The film is expected to release on June 27, 2014.
The new trailer has
quite a few similarities to the promo of I Saw The Devil. Mohit Suri was apparently disturbed by the
rumours. “That’s just one dialogue that I have taken from the Korean film’s
promo, just like I have taken another dialogue from the film Jack
Reacher. The two stories are not similar, as the
characters come from two completely different worlds. I don’t get the confusion
around it. I don’t know why people are calling me to clarify. I wasn’t born
with dialogues in my head and I have been inspired by the films I have watched
and the books I have read.” stated a very upset and miffed Mohit Suri.
But lets pin point some key points from the two
films that started those rumours
- Riteish Deshmukh’s costume has strong similarity with Choi Min-sik
- Both are serial killers in the film, who kill young innocent girls.
- The cruicial dialogue in the promo that indicates the probable entire storyline are same
- Even the posters of the films look similar.
But when a senior crew member from the film was
contacted, he said in an irate tone. "If the presence of a serial killer
in both the films makes the script a candidate for plagiarism then even Kamal
Haasan's Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu could fall in the same bracket. Oh yes,
add Rajesh Khanna's Red Rose to the list too. Weren't the central
antagonists in each of these films deriving pleasure out of killing? By that
logic, each of these films is lifted,"
Whatever the case may be, lets look at some of the
earlier films directed by Mohit Suri and its rip off’s:
Even the posters of the films look similar.
- Zeher (2005) – ripped off from - Out of Time (2003)
- Awarapan (2007) – ripped off from - A Bittersweet Life (2005)
- Murder 2 (2011) – ripped off from - The Chaser (2008)
- Aashique 2 (2013) – ripped off from - A Star Is Born (1976 film)
By the way, lets read the synopsis of the film I
