Bollywood filmmaker Mani Shankar has always been known for his original movies like 16 December, Mukhbiir and Rudraksh. Showing his rude reactions to the plagiarism charges against his recent release Knock Out featuring Irrfan Khan, Sanjay Dutt and Kangana Ranaut.
Mani Shankar told that first of all just because his film shows some shots of a man in a phone booth being targeted by a man with a gun, it doesn't mean that he have made Phone Booth. Defending himself the director said that Phone Booth itself is a copy of Kari Skogland's ‘Liberty Stands Still’.
So Mani Shankar doesn’t see how charges of plagiarism can be targeted at them when the movie is itself not the epitome of originality. L. K. Advani too watched Knock Out in Delhi and found that the film is quite refreshing. Mani concluded by asserting that Knock Out is a multi-layered political thriller about a real scam that nearly ruined our nation.
