Salim-Javed not happy with remake of Zanjeer
Ram Charan Tej debut film in Hindi which was announced during Rachcha audio that he will act in the the remake of Amitabh ‘Zanjeer’ . The duo writer Salim-Javed of the original script, are not happy with the remake of the movie. Javed Akthar, recently in Patna he was speaking to the media told that ‘Salim called over the phone and told me that he is not happy with the makers of “Zanjeer”, since nobody came to ask any permission from us’. He says even if we read the current copyright laws, they say that it is the creator’s moral right over his or her creation to maintain its sanctity and originality. This right is not transferable or cannot be stolen either, they have to take permission from us before they do any changes to the original script, he cites example that “if I buy a Painting of MF Hussain, paying by Rs 2crore, I can hang it on my wall, but that does not gives me right to change it, for instance it’s a painting of a person , just because I purchased it, I cannot make a mustache on that person painting, It’s a crime, so the same way even the makers need to take our permission, he even says that I cannot add one small paragraph to Tagore’s or ‘Premchand’s’ poetry, it will be a crime”. However he remains hopeful about the amendments to the country’s copyright laws in general, which will take another six months to materialize.
