F.I.R has been logged against Akshay Kumar for plagiarising the story of Pad Man!

Akshay Kumar 's latest film, Pad Man , released yesterday and it’s receiving rave reviews from all across. The social drama is a screen adaptation of Twinkle Khanna ’s novel which is based on the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham, who made low-cost sanitary napkins for the rural women. Though the movie has an impactful social message, someone is extremely unhappy with the film.

A young writer Ripu Daman Jaiswal has accused the makers of taking scenes in the film from the script he had written. The writer has filed an FIR against Akshay Kumar . He alleges that he had sent a script to Dharma Productions and scenes in the film have been lifted from his story.

He had posted on his Facebook account, “One and a half years ago, I had written and registered a film based on the works of Arunachalam Muruganantham and Saati biodegradable sanitary pads. Have you heard about them? Yup, Arunachalam Muruganantham is the guy who had made low-cost sanitary pads for rural women. I had registered the film on 5th of December 2016 from SCREEN WRITER ASSOCIATION and sent to Ryan Stephan (Karan Johar's production -- Creative head) and personally to Vikram Aditya Motwane.

And you know what happened? After ten days on 16th of December 2016, I heard the news that Mrs. Twinkle Khanna revealed that her production is making a film based on his life, starring AKSHAY KUMAR.”

He further wrote, “Recently, the PADMAN trailer released, and most of the scenes have been taken from the summary I had sent to MR. Ryan Stephan. Yes, they even copied my fictional scenes (Check out the Rakshabandan scene. In real life, Arunachalam Muruganantham has no sister.)

I have decided to take this matter to court and fight a battle against the producers of the film.”
