‘Mister Mummy' accused of plagiarism

Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza recently announced their forthcoming film Mister Mummy, a comedy where a man seems to have gotten pregnant in mysterious circumstances. The film has already courted controversy for allegedly plagiarizing the story. Kolkata-based producer Akash Chatterjee has accused the makers of stealing the concept of the movie which he had originally written and pitched under the title Viki Pet Se. Chatterjee has voiced these allegations on social media and pinned T-Series, the music label backing the project, as he had shared the concept with them in 2019.
