Viewers are accusing the creators of ripping off scenes from the hit Bollywood film Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, starring Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. Just days after its release, the teaser has been accused of looking eerily similar to a famous moment from the 2013 Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. In that scene, Deepika and Ranveer, playing lovers from rival families, face off while aiming guns at each other. In Sher, Danish is seen holding a gun, and Sarah, dressed in a traditional ghagra choli, stands her ground with a weapon of her own. The tense, charged standoff has fans pointing out the obvious parallels to that iconic Ram Leela moment. Take a look at some reactions here: Acha Ramleela ka sasti version bhi aa gaya pak mein😂 — Debasish Singh (@cricdebasish) April 29, 2025 This isn't even Ramleela.

Ranveer Singh plays Ram, a carefree charmer from one clan, while Deepika Padukone's Leela is the fierce and fiery daughter of the rival family. Their intense romance blooms despite their families' hatred, but as love clashes with loyalty and blood ties, tragedy takes center stage. The film released in November 2013.
