(Web Desk) — Tauqeer Nasir, a senior actor in the Pakistani drama industry, has alleged that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan copied his work in one of his films without giving him due credit.
In an interview on the YouTube channel “Zabardast With Wasi Shah” on Monday, Nasir revealed that Shah Rukh Khan often praised his work and sent his regards through various people.
“Shah Rukh Khan is a talented actor, but it’s disappointing to see the lack of recognition for my contribution from his side,” Nasir stated.
When asked about the movie in which Shah Rukh Khan allegedly copied his work, Nasir said, “Shah Rukh’s role in the film ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’ was a direct copy of my character from the drama ‘Parwaaz’. Even the detail of an injured leg, depicted in the film, was borrowed from my portrayal in the drama.”
He further added, “‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’ was essentially based on the story of ‘Parwaaz’, written by the renowned author Mustansar Hussain Tarar. Shah Rukh Khan should have given due credit for his inspiration.”
Nasir also called out filmmaker Karan Johar for not giving proper credit to him and Mustansar Hussain Tarar for the inspiration.
“Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna,” a romantic drama released in 2006, stars Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta, and Kirron Kher. The film explores themes of marital infidelity and dysfunctional relationships.
