Salman Khan Sued for Veer!

Comments [ 32 ] By Nabila K. | 27 January 2010 | 12:32pm

Veer, Salman Khan's big Bollywood epic has barely been on the big screen for a week and it has already run in to trouble!

Pavan Choudary, a Gurgaon-based writer known for his book titled A Trilogy of Wisdom is unhappy with the makers of Veer as he believes that the scriptwriter has blatantly stolen a 'thought' from the Hindi translation of his book.

According to Choudary, the Trilogy of his book compromises of Chanakya's political, Confucius' social, and Kabir's spiritual wisdom. In the Chanakya section he had outlined his political dream for his country, culminating ofa quote that compares the country to a 'sone ki chidiya' (a golden goose), a title ancient India has often been referred to as by a vast range of historians.

However, he was shocked to find the three line quote spoken, almost word to word, by Salman Khan in a trailer of Veer. The writer has consequently filed a case against producer Vijay Galani, director Anil Sharma, scriptwriter and actor Salman Khan as well as Eros International.

Choudary has requested for damages but insists that the main thing he is looking for is the paternity of the idea to be attributed to him, a rightfully claimed credit in his opinion.

aah...........
pavan is a jerk...there is some similarity but those they have totally different meanings.... that MF***er book mentioned making country like "baaz but not like sone ki chidiya" but the lines in the VEER says, "our country is sone ki chidiya which became baaz" now you ppl analyze and see the difference.

F*** Pavan,you are doing this just to be popular....

This is what the matter is about
The book contains:- "desh ko sone ki chidiya nahin, sone ka baaz banana hai. Kyunki chidiya ko toh baki pakshi noch noch kar kha jaate hain, par baaz ki taraf koi aankh utha ke nahin dekhta.'"

A trailer of Veer has:- "Hamara desh ek sone ki chidiya hai jise aap log bhinch bhinch kar apne pet main dharna chahte ho ... munh mein nahin aayegi chidiya ... kyunki woh chidiya baaz ban chuki hai."
