French Director accuses makers of Saaho of stealing his movie!

It’s been a few days since Saaho was released and it’s been doing great wonders at the box-office. The movie has faced a lot of criticism from the audiences as well as the critics. 

Ever since its release, the Prabhas-Shraddha Kapoor starrer has been caught in a lot of controversies, after a Bengaluru-based artist named Shilo Shiv Suleman accused the makers of the film of plagiarism for creating a rip-off of her art installation named The Burning Man in the new poster of Saaho, a French filmmaker has accused the makers of Saaho for the same.

Recently Jerome Salle, a French filmmaker, took to his official social media handle and called out the makers of Saaho for free making his whole movie Largo Winch. 

One of the Twitter users first tweeted to the filmmaker by writing, "@Jerome_Salle Buddy another day and another free make of your Largo winch movie in India #Saaho. you are the real Guruji". 

To which the filmmaker replied, "I think I have a promising career in India."

Jerome then further tweeted, “It seems this second "freemake" of Largo Winch is as bad as the first one. So please Telugu directors, if you steal my work, at least do it properly? And as my ‘Indian career’ tweet was of course ironic, I'm sorry but I'm not gonna be able to help.”

Largo Winch was a French thriller film which was released in 2008, and starred Tomer Sisley and Kristin Scott Thomas in the leading roles. The movie was based on the Belgian comic book with the same name.
