‘Dear Zindagi’ team denies receiving any legal notice from the makers of ‘Being Erica’

Gauri Shinde’s ‘Dear Zindagi‘ garnered amazing response at the box-office for its unique and thought-provoking content. Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan too received universal applause for their impeccable performance in the film. However, a small problem might now trouble the makers.

According to reports, the producers of Canadian comedy-drama TV series ‘Being Erica’, Temple Street Productions have sent a legal notice to Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions for copyright infringement.

A source confirms, “Karan and the Dharma CEO, Apoorva Mehta were not aware that ‘DZ’ was inspired in such detail from the Canadian show. Meanwhile, Gauri maintains her script is original, but the similarities are too glaring to go unnoticed. Gauri Khan, who is also one of the producers, and the makers are now trying to figure how to sort it out amicably. This is the first time that Dharma, which has a clean reputation, has faced a plagiarism charge.”

However, Dharma CEO Apoorva Mehta has denied any such notice coming their way and said, “It’s not true… We haven’t received anything at all.”

We wonder what the truth is?
