Actress Lisa Ray Calls Out Prabhas' Saaho Makers For Plagiarism

. . No comments:
Hours after Saaho arrived in theatres on Friday, actress Lisa Ray accused the makers of Saaho of plagiarising contemporary artist Shilo Shiv Suleman's work for a poster of the song Baby Won't You Tell Me, featuring lead stars Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor. "What is creativity? What is art? Where does it come from? We know what it is not. 

It's not your social status. It's not your job title. It's not your appearance," Lisa Ray began her post by writing this. Highlighting what went into creating Shilo Shiv Suleman's original artwork, Lisa Ray added: "That's why when something dishonourable happens, we need to stand up and speak up. To hold up a mirror to these makers to make them understand this is not right. 

It's come to light that a big budget film production has ripped off one of Shilo's original creations. This is not inspiration but blatant theft. In no world, is this acceptable."

The 47-year-old actress alleged that "The production did not contact the creator, ask her permission nor offer to collaborate or offer a credit. Nothing. This is not right."

"I believed the Hindi film industry was evolving necessarily past stealing storylines and rampant plagiarism but the producers of Saaho have obviously not gotten the memo when it comes to art," Lisa Ray added. Prabhas and Shraddha's Saaho also released in Hindi apart from Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam.
