Mumbai, June 30 (IANS) Muvizz.com, the producers of the short film "Kriti", are set to file a defamation suit against Nepali filmmaker Aneel Neupane, who claimed that Bollywood filmmaker Shirish Kunder's short movie "Kriti" is a copy of his film "Bob".
Advocate Rizwan Siddiquee, representing Kunder and Muvizz.com, has stated: "As of now, my client's film 'Kriti' is being exhibited on Muvizz.com, Dailymotion, Vimeo and Facebook. We have also explained our legal position to YouTube channel.
"YouTube has accordingly forthwith removed the film 'BOB' from its channel because of objections. It is apparent that no case of plagiarism is made out against my clients as was alleged by Aneel Neupane.
