As written early on in a piece by oz, it is not a copy of Cavite.. the fact is the film was written even before cavite probably had a release, much before No Smoking and i promised to RK that we will get the film made provided you help me out in NS. Right from the beginning it has been discussed how it is a copy, on PFC, and i didn’t bother to react because i knew and even on PFC i had said that RK never saw the film even after he was accused the first time and chose to stay away from it, after all the clarifications, UTV and me decided to go seek permission from the original producers, just in case, and we even went and got that. The film that’s made by RK is something that all first time filmmakers should be proud of and should judge after they see the film, basic similarities in concepts thought simultaneously around the same time don’t make any film a copy and even similarities don’t exist. The damage that such an article does is that MID-DAY picks it up and destroys the morale of a filmmaker who is proud of not going the safe route, risking it all, goes out on a limb to make an independent film with a first time crew and a tv actor.
Aamir is as much a copy of Cavite as Dombivali Fast is of Falling Down and No Smoking was of Cat’s Eye..Only this time i am the only one on the team of Aamir who has seen Cavite
