New Delhi . A new controversy has emerged regarding the story and credits of the film ‘OMG 2’. After actor Paresh Rawal claimed that he did not get credit for the original idea of the film, writer-director Amit Rai has now presented his stand publicly for the first time. He clarified that the original story of the film is his own creation and he has the rights related to its writing and production. After this statement, the debate regarding the credits of the film has once again become a topic of discussion.
Amit Rai said that according to him, the story of ‘OMG 2’ was developed from his idea and he himself wrote, developed and presented it in the form of a film. He says that he does not want to create controversy with anyone on this subject, but is completely clear about his creative role. He said that he gives importance to his work and facts rather than making personal comments on anyone’s statement.
The director also said that he respects senior artistes of the industry and does not believe in making statements against anyone. According to him, if a person has his opinion then he has the right to express it, but he is not in favor of taking this controversy forward. He said that his aim is not to prove anyone wrong, but to clarify the facts about his work.
On the credit dispute, Amit Rai said that the respective names are mentioned in the official credits of the film and the audience can get information in this regard by watching the film themselves. He claimed that Paresh Rawal’s wife’s name as producer is also included in the credits of the film. According to him, the information recorded in the official records should be the basis of this matter.
Amit Rai also rejected the claims of change in the story of the film. He said that he has always been clear about the basic nature of his script and story and does not accept unnecessary changes at the creative level. He said that even during the making of the film, he maintained his original concept and did not allow any major changes in the basic structure of the story.
Earlier, actor Paresh Rawal had claimed that the original idea of ’OMG 2′ was his and he did not get the required credit later during the development of the film. After his statement, the discussion regarding ownership and credit of the story intensified in the film industry. At present, different claims have come from both the sides and no common official conclusion has emerged on this subject.
Matters related to story, script and credits are considered extremely important in the film industry. The roles of the writer, director, producer and other creative collaborators in the production of any film are clearly recorded. In such cases, if any dispute arises, it is usually resolved on the basis of the contract, official records and relevant legal provisions. At present, the ongoing controversy regarding ‘OMG 2’ is limited to the statements of both the parties and the audience is keeping an eye on the upcoming developments.
