Ayushmann in legal trouble

Ayushmann Khurrana is all set to make an appearance as a man dealing with premature balding in his upcoming film Bala. The film that also stars Bhumi Pednekar was supposed to go on the floors this month. However, before the film could make any noise, the actor has apparently landed into legal trouble. Reports suggest that the actor along with director Amar Kaushik and producer Dinesh Vijan have been accused by Kamal Kant Chandra for stealing his story for Bala. 

As per reports, Kamal Kant had shared the idea of the story with Ayushmann via WhatsApp. Even though the actor gave the story idea a thumbs-up, he never did the film. Later, the actor stopped replying to Kamal and soon after announced a film on the concept of a balding man.

Talking about the issue, director Amar Kaushik says, “I have no idea about this, we have been scripting the story since the past four-five months. There is a possibility that the characters could be the same. I don’t know his script, nor have I met him. I have been writing this story since day one and it could be a tale about any balding man. And as far as the legal case is concerned, the producers will take care of it.”
