Netflix’s Squid Game took the world by storm with its intense storyline, earning six Emmys out of fourteen nominations and becoming a cultural phenomenon.
The buzz around the series is set to continue with its highly anticipated second season premiering on December 26. However, this success is now being overshadowed by a provocative claim from Bollywood.
Soham Shah, the director of the 2009 film Luck, has filed a lawsuit accusing the creators of Squid Game of plagiarism.
Soham Shah alleges that the hit series borrowed its concept from his film without proper acknowledgment.
Luck, featuring Imran Khan, Sanjay Dutt, and Shruti Hassan, revolves around a similar high-stakes game concept that bears a striking resemblance to the challenges depicted in Squid Game. Luck was a disaster at the box office.
Netflix has defended itself, stating that Hwang Dong-hyuk, the creator of Squid Game, is the sole visionary behind the show. Despite this, Soham Shah insists that his film’s idea predates Squid Games by several years and is preparing for a legal battle to prove his point.
As the controversy heats up, fans and critics are left to wonder if Squid Game’s groundbreaking concept was truly original or if Bollywood’s Luck had a hand in shaping it.
But it’s quite intriguing that a disastrous Bollywood film gave rise to a blockbuster web series.
