I Will Commit Suicide In Front Of T-Series Office: Writer Amit Gupta

Cheating with story writer Amit Gupta of the film “Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video”, producers accuse of not giving credit

Mumbai. Rajkumar Rao and Tripti Dimri starrer film ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ has got into controversy even before its release in theatres. Amit Gupta has not got the credit for writing the story of this film. He had also sent a legal notice to the producers through his lawyer, but he was only given consolation and neither did he get name nor money.

Famous Bollywood writer Amit Gupta said in a press conference held in Mumbai that a writer works only for name. We writers are happy from the heart that we have a name. But our financial condition is not so good. The saying ‘Dig a well every day and drink water every day’ is true for us. I am fighting for my rights. I am very disappointed and upset and my condition has become such that I feel like going to the T-Series office and committing suicide.”

Writer Amit Gupta looked very disappointed. He said that when he saw the trailer of the film ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’, he was shocked because its central concept is written by him. He had registered this story with the Screen Writers Association (SWA) as a writer a long time ago. The story of ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ revolves around a newly married couple who record their private DVD on their wedding night. The twist in the story comes when the DVD gets lost, this creates chaos in their life and then comedy is created.

Amit Gupta has said that he had written this basic story structure, which has also been registered with the Screen Writers Association. Now the film ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ has been made on the same idea. This is a case of copyright violation and I sent a notice against the producers. In the reply that has come from Amit Gupta’s side to the notice, he has mentioned the registration The date written is after Amit Gupta’s registration date. This proves that Amit Gupta’s claim is correct. Amit Gupta says that we have a registration date of this story before this and we have all the documents, email confirmation as well.

Let us tell you that ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ is directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa. ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ is going to release on 11 October 2024.

The producers of the 90s based film ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ are Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Ekta Kapoor, Shobha Kapoor, Vimal Lahoti, Ashwin Varde, Rajesh Bahl, Raaj Shaandilyaa and Vipul D Shah.

Amit Gupta hopes that his name will be given as the story writer of this film.

The Metal Canvas Stone: Triveni of Art

Art exhibition is a confluence of distinct artistic expressions and mediums, offering a unique experience for art enthusiasts in Mumbai. Showcased at the Jahangir Art Gallery, this exhibition features the works of four renowned artists: Asurvedh, Vijaya Ved, Manisha Sanchihar, and Hemant Joshi. Their collective efforts revolve around invoking empathy and exploring both the physical and mental conditions of human existence through art. While Manisha’s abstract work leans heavily on symbolism, the other three artists present figurative forms, creating a direct and immediate connection with viewers.

This show was inaugurated on 24th September 2024  by Chief Guest Sanjay Puri, Sanjay Puri Architects Principal Architect Mumbai in the presence of  Rupesh & Archana Baid Principal Interior Architect & Design Co. Mumbai, Rajendra Patil President, The Bombay Art Society, Prof. Dr. Milind Dhobley Dean Faculty of Fine Arts MOT ADT Uni. Pune, Maharashtra

Asurvedh’s art captures the overlooked moments of everyday life, particularly focusing on the marginalized individuals who are often unseen in the bustle of urban life, such as children selling balloons at traffic signals. Through his sculptures, Asurvedh freezes these fleeting moments of human dynamism, urging viewers to take notice of the lives that often go unnoticed. His art transforms the mundane into something profound, turning these everyday scenes into still, yet expressive, sculptural forms that encourage reflection on the world we ignore.

Vijaya Ved’s artwork embarks on a journey of self-illumination, where she delves into both the tangible and intangible aspects of human existence. Her art resonates with themes of self-awareness, spirituality, and the human connection to the infinite. By portraying the emotional and spiritual relationships in life, she transcends the physical limitations of the body, aiming to illuminate the boundless nature of the soul. Her evolution as an artist reflects a shift from depicting life’s emotional ties to a deeper immersion into self-exploration through nature, revealing a universal quest for inner enlightenment.

Manisha Sanchihar presents an abstract exploration of the inner self, challenging traditional boundaries and highlighting the intricate relationship between attachment and detachment. Through her abstract expressionism, she portrays the boundlessness of the mind and emotions. Manisha’s work suggests a deeper connection with self-expression, illustrating how abstraction can still carry powerful, introspective emotions. Her art invites viewers into a space where distinctions between being and non-being dissolve, offering a moment of introspection and encouraging self-discovery.

Hemant Joshi’s sculptures emphasize the inner essence of forms rather than their outer appearances. Working predominantly in abstract stone sculptures, he seeks to uncover the deeper, hidden realities of objects and beings. His use of different stones to create harmonious compositions reflects a transformative process—one that imbues lifeless materials with a sense of boundless interpretation and beauty. Through this abstraction, Hemant’s sculptures reveal new dimensions and meanings, evoking endless possibilities for viewers to explore.

Overall, the exhibition presents a compelling narrative of human existence, self-awareness, and the interplay between the visible and the unseen. Through a diverse range of mediums—sculpture, painting, and abstract forms—these artists provide a profound commentary on the human condition, inviting empathy and introspection in their audiences.
