"Ladies vs Ricky Bahl" is not a copy of "John Tucker Must Die"!

The film has barely begun shooting, but Ladies vs Ricky Bahl is already causing some controversy amid rumors that it is a copy of the 2006 Hollywood flick John Tucker Must Die. Anushka Sharma quickly, and rather pragmatically, rushes to the film's defense ensuring that the film is about a conman who cons girls for a living in order to make money. Sounds different enough to me!

In the interview, Anushka said one thing that really resonated with me:
"You know what, it's really sad but true that the first thing when a film is announced, so many out there want to start drawing parallels with what has already been made. No one cares that all of us are working hard on making an original product."

You go, Anushka! Pretty much every film ever made will have at least SOMETHING in common with another film out there--no need to obsess over it. And what's wrong with copies anyway? Sometimes they can work. I, for one, enjoyed We Are Family sooo much more than Step Mom. If someone is able to retell the same story in a slightly different way, then go for it!

In Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh team up once again with YRF productions and director Maneesh Sharma to deliver this forthcoming rom-com set to release this December.
