Q. Your books give the impressions that they'll translate into great racy Hollywood thrillers. Do you agree?

A. Well, forget Hollywood, just look at your Bollywood! These bunch of thieves have stolen several of my books without so much as a by your leave'. Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl (Not A Penny More, Not A Penny Less') and Khudgarz (Kane and Able') and several others.

I love his books, especially the clifton chronicles...read all 7 of them. He is an amazing writer!
About i understand what he means but i found what he said quite rude

He's right though, it's hi creative material and it's technically copywrighted so they should have purchased the rights like HW studios do. I hope HW scriptwriters start sueing all the people not just BW but everywhere that steal from them. It's not right and others shouldn't profit off someone else's ideas/work.

"Loosely adapted" is where it becomes tricky, but still.

I love his books, but Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl cannot be called out as being similar to Not a penny more, not a penny less. The later was all about stocks and stuff. Ladies v.s Ricky Bahl was more a chick flick.

What's new?

Everyone knows Bollywood is full of plagiarism!

And no one gives credit either.
