Mumbai Heroes poster resembling Chak De India’s promotional poster

Salman Khan’s publicity poster for his team, Mumbai Heroes, bears striking resemblance to actor Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster Chak De India’s promotional poster. Salman’s Heroes did not perform well during the last Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) matches so this time he promise to bounce came with innovative marketing option, that doesn't look more than a copy paste.

Film expert Atul Mohan however feels otherwise. he said 

I would say it’s nothing but a coincidence as you can’t think of much creative designs with 11 team members and one face who is the captain or the brand ambassador. The creative has to look serious and one can’t afford to have funny creative in the name of being different

In the past, the actors seem to have become each other’s inspiration a number of times. The last coincidence was the train sequence in Salman’s film Bodyguard that looked like an exact replica of SRK’s famous train sequence in the climax from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, reported HindustanTimes.

Does Salman copy Shah Rukh?

Nariman Films and Irani family, the makers of original 1978 film 'Don', had complained that the new 'Don 2' had violated copyrights by adopting the 'Don' songs, signature tune of the original movie and also copying its script, characters and music. Irani family asked for stay order on the release of the movie and also compensation Rs 200 crore.

Hearing the plaintiffs and defendants, Justice S F Vajifdar said, he could not grant a stay on the release of 'Don 2' as bookings had already been undertaking in theatres across the globe. The movie is scheduled to be released on December 21 overseas and December 23 in India.
