Exclusive: Seema Pahwa on similarities between Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi and Pagglait, reveals her 'issue' with the film
Hindustan TimesThe recent Netflix release Pagglait is mired in controversy after certain sections of the audience noticed similarities between the Sanya Malhotra-starrer and Seema Pawha's directorial debut, Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi. Directed by Umesh Bist, Pagglait was released on March 26, whereas Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi made a debut at the MAMI Film Festival in 2019 before it was released in theatres earlier this year. Asked if she tried to understand how the coincidence occurred, Seema said, "I have not tried to find out when the film was made or what the background is, I can only talk about my film that I wrote this movie in 2015, I made it in 2018 and could release at MAMI in 2019." It doesn't make a difference if the story revolves around the problems of a young girl in Pagglait or an old lady in Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi," she said.
