Has the maverick filmmaker Anurag Kashyap finally fallen prey to &lsquo;being inspired&rsquo;? At least one writer, Nishant G Ranjan, thinks so. <img alt="Anurag Kashyap" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/apr/Anurag-Kashyap_3.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 576px;" /> u00a0Nishant says, &ldquo; I had sent my story to Anurag Kashyap in 2011. It revolved around a person who wanted to make Mr. Bachchan listen to his poems written on him. <img alt="Nishant G Ranjan" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/apr/Nishant-G-Ranjan.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 525px;" /> Nishant G Ranjan He has a son dying of cancer who wants to have tea with him. For a very long time there was no reply from Kashyap&rsquo;s side. So I thought, he wouldn&rsquo;t have liked the story and I forgot it. Then while I was reading a local newspaper I read about the shooting in Mr. Bachchan&rsquo;s bungalow. On inquiring further I figured that this was very much my own story. This was on February 22 and I immediately took up the case with the Writer&rsquo;s Association. They tried a lot to solve the issue, but ultimately we had to file a case in the court. I&rsquo;m now being told that I now have to go to the High Court&rdquo; &ldquo;Anurag&rsquo;s story is about this guy who wants to meet Mr. Bachchan and wants him to have a murabba made by his family. Apparently it is his mother&rsquo;s wish that Mr Bachchan eats the murabba,&rdquo; added Nishant. In an earlier interview about his short film, Anurag has said, &ldquo;My story about Mr Bachchan was one of the first scripts that I ever wrote. At that time it was called &lsquo;Hum Bhi Allahabad Se Hai&rsquo;. I always wanted to make this film with Bachchan Sir, but there have been many long silences between him and me &hellip;this film couldn&rsquo;t have been made without him or his bungalow.&rdquo; However, about this particular allegation, Anurag maintains, &ldquo;Ask him how he claims this and ask for proof too. He claims to have sent the script to me at onlykashyap@gmail.com, which I never had. If you publish his story, people will know the truth.&rdquo; The Writer&rsquo;s association confirms the news of Nishant&rsquo;s case filed with them.u00a0
