I’ve not lifted scene from ‘The Hangover’: Sajid Khan
April 1st, 2010 - 9:03 pm ICT by IANS
London, April 1 (IANS) Director Sajid Khan rubbishes reports that his upcoming film “Housefull” plagiarises a scene from Hollywood comedy “The Hangover”, saying he is not dumb enough to rip off a scene from a recent hit film.
The scene in question involves a tiger. Ever since the promos of the Akshay Kumar-Lara Dutta starrer hit the screens, rumour mills started buzzing that Sajid has lifted the particular scene from “The Hangover”.
“I could see these accusations coming. Yes, there is a tiger in the house, but I’m not dumb enough to rip off a scene from a recent hit film, tweak my original screenplay of ‘Housefull’ to forcibly incorporate it and then show it to the audience through promos so that rumour mongers can start debating about a lift from ‘The Hangover’,” Sajid said in a statement.
Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and distributed by Eros International, the film also stars Deepika Padukone, Jiah Khan, Riteish Deshmukh and Arjun Rampal.
