Shirish Kunder Short Film Kriti which is featuring Bollywood stars Manoj Bajpai and Radhika Apte has crossed 3 million views on YouTube.
Kunder was caught up in a legal battle with a Nepali filmmaker Aneel Neupane, who claimed that Kriti is a copy of his film ‘BOB’. In a statement shared earlier, it was said that the long drawn copyright claims over Kriti, produced by Muvizz.com, was finally put to rest on July 15 as the film, starring Manoj Bajpayee, Neha Sharma, and Radhika Apte, returned on YouTube.
In the event of a false copyright claim done by makers of BOB and then failing to grant sufficient proof within the given 15-day notice, Hindi short film is now back on YouTube. The producers of the film have not only sought to claim Rs 5 crore in a lawsuit against the team of “BOB” for damages but they have bigger plans for the film.Due to the overwhelming response from the viewers, Muvizz.com and Kunder plan to make “Kriti” a full feature film or a web series in near future.
Kunder said the short film was released on June 22 and got the huge response from different countries. So, Muvizz.com and I have decided to double out efforts and showcase more of ‘Kriti’ to our audiences through the format of a web series or a feature film.”
