Arbaaz Khan is flabbergasted. Ever since the promo of his
third production Dolly Ki Doli went online (and fetched some very good response
for itself), some mischief mongers started spreading the rumor that the film is
a copy of Punjabi film R.S.V.P. [Ronde Sare Vyah Picho]. As has turned out
though, the script of Sonam Kapoor starrer was registered almost three years
ago (in January 2012) whereas the Neeru Bajwa starrer film was released in
October 2013.
"The only similarity between the two films is that the
leading lady dupes her groom, and that's about it. Beyond that there is
absolutely nothing similar between the two films," informs our source,
"As a matter of fact, even though the writer of R.S.V.P., Ved Prakash,
felt initially that Dolly Ki Doli has been flicked from the work that he had
put together, he was pretty content after being made aware of the core of the
Arbaaz Khan production."
In R.S.V.P., Neeru Bajwa does dupe her groom (Harish Verma)
but has a gradual change of heart when latter hunts for her and brings her back
into the family. On the other hand in Dolly Ki Doli, Sonam Kapoor is shown as a
serial con girl who takes Rajkummar Rao, Varun Sharma and Pulkit Samrat for a
royal ride.
"I don't know where this is coming from, especially
after Ved Prakash met me and I explained how ours was a completely new and
original script while being registered way back in January 2012," fires
away Arbaaz, "There is no room for speculation here. Just because the
leading lady is a con artist doesn't make two films just the same. Ved too
seemed to have agreed to the details I shared with him. He understands there is
nothing similar between the two films."
When contacted, Ved Prakash too refuted all the
speculations. He said, "I met Arbaaz bhai and he assured me that there
were no similarities between the two films. He even showed me the proof of
beginning work on his film way back in 2012. I was content with the evidence
provided by him and was content Dolly Ki Doli was not a remake of
R.S.V.P.," says Ved.
