Be it blatantly copying the film frame to frame or picking up a few scenes from two to three films, Bollywood keeps getting inspired from international cinema and artistes and now, Aamir Khan’s upcoming film P.K.’s first poster has been found guilty of plagiarising.
The first poster of the Rajkumar Hirani film showcases a nude Aamir hiding his modesty with an old tape recorder and the poster is very similar to the cover of Portugese musician Quim Barreiros’ 1973 single ‘Recebi um convite’. However, this is not the first time Aamir’s films’ posters have been accused of getting ‘inspired’. While the poster of Ghajini was compared to that of The Hulk’s, his last release, Dhoom 3’s poster had a stark resemblance to The Dark Knight.
Ever since the first look of the film has been released it has been creating a lot of buzz. While it has become the butt of all jokes on various social networking sites, it has also ruffled a few feathers for promoting nudity and vulgarity. A case has been filed against Aamir and the makers of the movie in a Kanpur court for being obscene.
