Actress Sayani Gupta, whose directorial debut, Aasmani was clouded with allegations of similarities with 'Prabha', has reacted to the film receiving clean chit by the Screenwriters Association's Dispute Settlement Committee (DSC).
The film has been cleared of copyright infringement allegations by the body. The complaint, filed against the actress-director and editor Paramita Ghosh, alleged similarities between 'Aasmani' and 'Prabha', which is a documentary yet to be completed. After reviewing submissions and independent expert comparisons, the DSC found the two works shared only the underlying idea, while storytelling, character development, conflict, and story arc differ. The DSC noted that copyright protects expression, not ideas, especially where the complainant's work is a documentary based on a real person's publicly known life.
