Taapsee Pannu’s Gandhari is based on my story, says writer: ‘How can Kanika Dhillon be credited?’
Writer Kalyan Bandi claims that the upcoming Netflix film Gandhari, starring Taapsee Pannu, is based on his original story concept. Producer Kanika Dhillon's Kathha Pictures has denied these allegations, stating that the film is an original work. Bandi alleges that he wrote and registered a similar story titled "Gandhari" in 2019, about a mother who becomes a fierce goddess while fighting child trafficking.
He says he pitched the story to Monika Shergill in 2019, who was then with Voot, now Netflix. Bandi claims he also sent the story to other production houses, but they rejected it after the Netflix announcement. Kathha Pictures maintains that Gandhari is their original work, written and produced by Dhillon.
