Bombay High Court dismisses copyright claim against Dream Girl 2; calls allegations ‘far-fetched’

The Bombay High Court has thrown out a copyright infringement plea against Balaji Telefilms over its 2023 comedy Dream Girl 2, ruling that the film’s storyline is entirely different from the applicant’s work and that the claim of breach of confidence was ‘far-fetched’. The case was filed by writer Ashim Kumar Bagchi, who claimed the Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer was based on his script originally titled Kal Kisne Dekha and later re-registered as The Show Must Go On. Bagchi alleged that his story — a gender-swap comedy about a man impersonating a woman and navigating hilarious situations whenever his real identity was at risk — had been shared in confidence with one of the film’s credited writers years ago.

Marvel Star Josh Brolin Opens Up About Losing Batman Role

The actor said he would still like to play a superhero. American actor Josh Brolin stated that he could have landed the role of Batman in Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice instead of Ben Affleck. It is reported by Digital Spy. According to him, there is no animosity between the actors, but playing Batman "would be a fun thing to do." The role eventually went to Ben Affleck, who again played Batman in a number of Worlds of DC projects. Brolin stated that he was still interested in the role because it "comes with a certain level of risk." Earlier it was reported that the new "Batman" by Matt Reeves with Robert Pattinson in the title role bypassed the film "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" by Zack Snyder at the American box office. In the United States, the film grossed about $332 million in three weeks of release, while its predecessor grossed $330 million. At the global box office, "Batman v Superman" is still in the lead: it has $ 873 million compared to $ 670 million for "Batman", which is explained by the disastrous box office of the latter in China.
