Jannat 2 in legal tangle
Bhatt's much hyped film 'Jannat 2' starring Emraan Hashmi and Esha Gupta has got into a legal tangle. A Mumbai based writer Kapil Chopra has filed a case of plagiarism against the filmmakers and writer Sanjay Masoom. In his complaint, Chopra states that the Bhatts apparently stole his story to make 'Jannat 2'.
The hearing of the case took place on Wednesday evening in which Kapil said that he had registered his story with the Film Writers Association way back in 2007.

He was known to the 'Jannat 2' director Kunal Deshmukh quite well and because of this acquaintance with Deshmukh had narrated his story and also left a bound copy of the script at Bhatt's office which was later copied into 'Jannat 2'.
Later when Chopra saw the promos of 'Jannat 2' he realised that it was his own story which had been copied to make 'Jannat 2'. In fact Chopra claims that even the characters, plot and the dialogues were very similar to his own script. Later Chopra also met Kunal Deshmukh and Mukesh Bhatt but both of them denied the allegation after which Kapil filed his case against the producers.
Kapil's lawyers Krishnamurthy and Co demanded an injunction on the release of the film and have also demanded due credit for Kapil, in the film.
