Kamal Kant has stated that he had registered the script of the tales of a balding man much before Ayushmann’s film was announced.

 

Now, he has filed a police complaint against the makers under Section 420 (cheating) and 406 (breach of trust). Kamal has added the cheating charge because according to him, Kaushik and Khurrana started the shooting of the film before the court’s verdict came out.

 

In an interview to Mid-Day, Kamal says that in the last hearing on 19 April, Ayushmann and his team’s lawyer falsely mentioned that the film is in the scripting stage.

 

"“It’s wrong to start shooting before the court has given its verdict. At the last hearing, they said that they would take time to develop the script. How did they start shooting in 15 days? This means they gave a misleading picture to the court. I approached the vacation bench four days ago, but they stated that I should wait for the next hearing on June 10. But the makers might finish [a chunk of] the film by then and argue that since a lot of money is at stake, the court should rule in their favour.”" - Kamal Kant Chandra in Mid-Day report

 

Kamal says that he has messages from Ayushmann from 2017 which prove that the actor showed interest in the idea. “I registered my concept with Screen Writers’ Association in 2016 while their script has been registered in 2018.”
