Arbaaz Khan sends a legal notice to Pawan Kalyan over Sardaar Gabbar Singh

2 Apr 2016

Arbaaz Khan's personal life recently came into scrutiny after his separation with wife and actress Malaika Arora Khan. However, the actor has been facing a turmoil even in the professional front and will now be taking legal help to sort out matters with Telugu writer-actor Pawan Kalyan. Arbaaz Khan has sent a notice to Pawan Kalyan claiming that his upcoming film Sardaar Gabbar Singh bears resemblance to the Salman Khan starrer Dabangg 2 . It is a renowned fact that Pawan Kalyan's previous installment of this action franchise, Gabbar Singh was the official remake of Dabangg and the rights of the Bollywood film were officially bought by the makers. However, during the announcement of the sequel, Pawan Kalyan, who though decided to go ahead with the franchise, had maintained that Sardaar Gabbar Singh (the second installment) was an original script and hence he did not purchase the rights of Dabangg 2 . However, now that the trailer has released, Arbaaz reportedly felt that the film bears extreme resemblance to Dabangg 2. Initially the actor turned director decided to sort out matters with Pawan amicably but it seems that the former did not receive an appropriate response and that's when he decided to take legal action against the same.

Readers may recall that Dabangg 2 starred Salman Khan, Sonakshi Sinha, Arbaaz Khan, Prakash Raj among others.
