Mumbai: Even as Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s ‘Saiyaara’ surpassed ₹500 crore globally, the filmmakers have now been accused of copying the Korean classic ‘A Moment To Remember.’
Amid plagiarism allegations, ‘Saiyaara’ writer Sankalp Sadanah urged viewers to watch both ‘Saiyaara’ and ‘A Moment To Remember’, and then decide if it’s copied or not.
Dismissing plagiarism claims, Sankalp told trade analyst Komal Nahta: “Honestly, so much has already been said about this. All I can say is — the Korean film is out there, and so is Saiyaara. Watch both and judge for yourself. You’ll be able to tell whether it’s inspired, a copy, or an original.”
Sankalp further shared that ‘Saiyaara’ was born from a moment of pure emotion during a casual meeting with filmmaker Mohit Suri.
“There was talk of a sequel to another project — Aashiqui 3, to be precise. It was raining when we came back from a meeting. As I was about to leave, Mohit asked me to stay back and listen to something. He shared an idea and asked if it was worth building into a film,” the writer recalled.
Despite speculation and gossip, ‘Saiyaara’ continues to attract audiences with its fresh narrative, soulful music, and fresh pairing of lead actors.
