Bharti claimed that after conceptualising the idea for the movie, he had approached several artistes, but the film’s production could not be started. The petition further said that it had been “learnt by the plaintiff that save and except the same, some cosmetic changes have been made in the story, screenplay and the defendant have maintained entire story of the plaintiff as it is.” Bharti also demanded that a temporary order should be issued against defendants from releasing the film unless appropriate credit is given to him.
