‘Akshay stole my concept’

A Telugu actor-director accuses Khiladi Kumar of stealing his idea for his next based on a reality show.

A Telugu actor is claiming that Akshay Kumar has stolen his idea of making a film based on a reality show. Aditya Om is not a name that will ring a bell. But Aditya, who is also a writer-director, is claiming that he was shocked to know that Khiladi Kumar’s project is based on a concept he registered with the Writers’ Association on November 18.“People may think that I am trying to garner publicity because a star is involved. But I want the truth to be out,” says Aditya. He alleges that just three days after he had the concept registered, he sees his own film’s story being produced by a star!
“How is this possible? I know whose handiwork this is. But I can’t cast aspersions at this stage. I have been working on the concept of a murder happening in a reality show house for the past several months. And within three days of its registration, I see the story out!”Aditya further claims that he had been speaking to project designers about his concept. He feels someone might have leaked it out.“I am hurt by the happenings. I have already registered a complaint with the Writers’ Association. Let’s see what action is taken.”
