Content creator accuses Remo D'Souza of copying his signature step for Housefull 5 song Laal Pari: ‘I don't know what is happening'
After Kesari 2, Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 has also been accused of plagiarism. Popular content creator Sandip Brahamin has accused choreographer Remo D'Souza of copying one of the steps from his videos for the Housefull 5 song 'Laal Pari'. Sharing a video on his Instagram handle, Sandip claimed that his 'signature' move has been copied in the song. Sandip is referring to the step where the actors of the film can be seen wearing hats and shaking their heads. To justify his claim, Sandip also shared his old videos, where he can be seen performing the same step. He said, 'You all have seen my signature moves. My move has been copied in Housefull 5 song Laal Pari. Many of my friends DMed me on Instagram. Therefore, I rechecked on Instagram and YouTube. They've neither mentioned me nor have they given me credit. I don't know what is happening.' A post shared by Sandip Brahamin (@sandipbrahamin_11) The video has started gaining attention more than a month after it was first posted by Sandip. In the clip, he also urged his fans to support him in his efforts.

While some supported him, others defended the makers of the film claiming that 'steps toh of course anyone can do if they can do man.' 'Laal Pari', sung by Yo Yo Honey Singh and Simar Kaur, features actors Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, and Nargis Fakhri, among others. Housefull 5, which released with two different endings as Housefull 5A and Housefull 5B, opened at Rs 24 crore. Over the weekend, the film went on to earn Rs 87.5 crore, according to Sacnilk. Previously, Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2 was in the headlines after poet Yahya Bootwala accused them of lifting his poem on Jallianwala Bagh massacre and using it in the film without giving him credits. However, the row was brought to end after filmmakers amicably resolved the issue with the poet.

No plans for another film on Satyajit Ray sleuth ‘Feluda' now: Son on director's birth anniversary
He has been planning the two-part film on 'Feluda' and 'Shonku' since the maestro's centenary year in 2021. Sandip said he has a long-term plan to make a two-part film featuring both 'Feluda' and 'Professor Shonku', a scientist and inventor, but added that it will take some more time. Kolkata, May 2 (PTI) On Satyajit Ray's 104th birth anniversary, his son and acclaimed filmmaker Sandip Ray said he does not have any immediate plans to direct another feature film on the maestro's immensely popular fictional detective 'Feluda'. He made one film on the inventor, 'Professor Shanku O El Dorado' (Professor Shanku and El Dorado, 2019). 'I think with several projects on 'Feluda' adapted for OTT platforms, a little more space should be given to Feluda at present (as far as the big screen is concerned). Rather, I wish to direct a film based on Bengali short stories now,' he said. Sandip's Feluda films are 'Bombaiyer Bombete' (Thugs of Bombay, 2003), 'Kailashey Kelenkari' (Crime in Kailash, 2007), 'Tintorettor Jishu' (Jesus of Tintoretto, 2008), 'Gorosthaney Sabdhan' (Be careful in cemetery, 2010), 'Royal Bengal Rahashya' (Royal Bengal tiger mystery, 2011), 'Badshahi Angti' (The royal ring, 2014), 'Double Feluda' (2016), 'Hatyapuri' (Murder in Puri, 2022), and 'Nayan Rahasya' (The mystery of Nayan, 2024). He has also made TV films based on the 'Feluda' stories. Sandip was interacting with reporters at the legendary director's residence at 1 Bishop Lefroy Road in south Kolkata. He had earlier made non-sleuth fictional feature films like 'Nishijapon' and 'Jekhane Bhooter Bhoy', which explored the impact of a natural disaster on vacationing middle-class urban families and presented a collection of spooky ghost stories by several leading Bengali authors. Asserting that the Feluda-Shonku project will be taken up one day, he said, 'As earlier planned during the centenary year celebrations of my father, we hope the project incorporating two popular fictions—Feluda and Professor Shonku—in two parts will certainly happen one day.' Meanwhile, hundreds of Ray lovers and film enthusiasts thronged the master filmmaker's house, visiting his study and drawing room, where his garlanded photo was kept, to pay floral tributes. Readers of the heritage Bengali children's magazine 'Sandesh', associated with Ray's family since its inception, also gathered at the residence, as the study and drawing room were opened to Ray's countless fans and followers for the occasion. Sandip and Ray's daughter-in-law, Lolita Roy, welcomed the visitors, including several prominent personalities from the Bengali film industry and members of Sandip's production team.
