Controversy
Ujda Chaman and Bala controversy
Sunny Singh’s film “Ujda Chaman” and Ayushmann Khurrana’s “Bala” both films are based on the concept of premature male pattern baldness. The two films have almost the same poster, concept, and even the release date. The whole controversy is over copyright issues and release date clashes. Filmmaker Ujda Chaman claimed that the makers of Bala film violated their copyright as they saw some similarities in the trailer, dialogues and even the screenplay. Initially, Bala was supposed to release on November 15, 2019, but the makers pushed it to November 8, 2019, a day after Ujda Chaman was scheduled to release. In order to avoid the clash, the release date of Ujda Chaman was set a week before the release of Bala and was scheduled to be released on November 8, 2019. In an interview, when asked about the controversy, he said,
I had met Ayushmann Khurrana before both the films were released. He seemed quite unfazed by what was going on, and that made me realize that one should just focus on their work. And controversy aside, I got the recognition I wanted as an actor.
