Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Bala and Sunny Singh starrer Ujda Chaman have been creating news for the similar plotlines and now, release date around the same time.

After Mumbai Mirror reported a copyright violtion and legal issues surrounding Dinesh Vijan’ s Bala, Ujda Chaman makers said in a statement, “We are discussing it with our legal team and will take action in a few days. This is a clear case of copyright violation. I can understand two films around a bald character releasing within a short span of time, but in this case, there are striking similarities with my film and the original whose rights are with me,” quoted Mirror.

Abhishek Mangat, the producer of Ujda Chaman, further added that their film was an official remake of the 2017 Kannada film Ondu Motteya Kathe, the rights of which they had acquired in 2018.

While Bala is currently surrounded in a spate of controversies, National Award-winning actor Ayushmann Khurrana said the project will stand out in an era of great content.

Talking about the film, Ayushmann told news agency IANS: “In an era of great content, Bala will stand out and will hopefully entertain everyone in this country. It’s one of my best films and I’m supremely proud that Bala is part of my filmography. I was bowled over as soon as I read the script. It’s funny, satirical and emotional at the same time. It has its heart at the right place.”

“This film has everything for good cinema lovers and I can guarantee that they will find it a total paisa vasool entertainer that’s also socially relevant and extremely thoughtful at the same time. It will deliver a very thought provoking message while delivering quality entertainment to audiences. As an actor, these are the films that I gravitate towards and I’m hoping that people will shower Bala with as much love and appreciation as they have kindly given my other films,” he added.

Directed by Amar Kaushik, Bala narrates the plight of a young man who suffers from premature balding.

The film also stars Bhumi Pednekar and Yami Gautam and is scheduled to release on November 7.
