'Sorry', not another remake!

With remakes being the order of the day in Bollywood and not to forget the convenient lifting off of plots from Hollywood, the latest to join the bandwagon is Onir Anirban's 'Sorry Bhai'. But the cast and crew of the film say thats not the case.


Bollywood does it one more time i.e. rips off a Hollywood film. This time it's critically accalimed filmmaker Onir who has been charged of lifting parts of his forthcoming film 'Sorry Bhai' from the Hollywood flick 'Dan in Real life '.

But the filmmaker begs to differ. He said, "My film got registerd in 2005 and this Hollywood film got released in 2007. So probably they copied me."

The defense was equally strong from the cast as well. Actor Sanjay Suri said, "It is not a remake of a copy of any film. Even Satyajit Ray came with this line so should we say we have copied him?"

Another actor Sharman Joshi, who is also a part of this project said, "I don't know. The only thing I do know is that I got this script three years back."

As for the inspiration from Hollywood, movie goers will have to wait for 'Sorry Bhai's' release before we believe these comments.
