There is more trouble brewing for beleagured and now suspended IPL commissioner and IPL Chairman Lalit Modi. Director, Producer, actor and event manager Roshan Abbas has threatened to take Lalit Modi to court alleging plagiarism.
Says Roshan Abbas in a statement, “We had presented a concept to the IPL Committee last year. The closing ceremony of the IPL finals is uncannily similar to our concept and we will take it up with our group company JWT Group and our legal counsel and then decide on our future steps.
On TV channel Headlines Today, Roshan Abbas in a live interview said that he will sue Lalit Modi and the organizing committee of the IPL finals for ‘stealing his concept’. According to him, the white mannequin with A R Rahman performing at the closing ceremony was his concept which he has shared with Lalit Modi last year.
Roshan Abbas is working with Shah Rukh Khan on the film Always Kabhi Kabhi.
