Legal trouble for Kapil Sharma's film

The rights of the Kannada comic caper Nimbe Huli, which released last summer, had been acquired by a production house in Tamil Nadu to remake it in Hindi. But the makers of the original were in for a rude shock when they saw the trailer of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, Kapil Sharma’s film debut, as the storyline — which deals with with a man who manages multiple wives and lives with all in the same apartment complex — is reportedly very similar to the Kannada film.When the Chennai-based production house learnt of this, they filed a complaint (a copy of which is with BT) in the High Court last week, where they have sent a legal notice offering the makers of the Hindi film to explain themselves and have charged them with plagiarism.
