Back in 2018, Alia Bhatt starred in Meghna Gulzar’s Raazi<\/em> which went onto become a blockbuster. The film based on writer Harinder Sikka’s book ‘Calling Sehmat’. Now, the writer has accused the director of stealing the credit.<\/p>\n During Sunday panel discussion on Republic TV, Sikka said, \u201cI wrote Raazi<\/em> and this is proof against my name by (Meghna) Gulzar. It was written to me by the Jaipur Literature Festival. I was removed from everything, from Filmfare, my book was not allowed to be launched by Gulzar in person. You want me to read out this email where Jaipur Literature Festival head says, \u2018In my 35 years of career, I have never seen anybody bulldozing to remove one person.\u2019 In this particular case, Gulzar is the case in point.\u201d<\/p>\n He further said, \u201cMy book was tried to be delayed? Why? Every credit must go to Meghna Gulzar. First Jaipur Literature Festival, then the Filmfare Awards. The best original screenplay award was to be given to me but it was removed, it was given to some film by the name Andhadhun which was a copy of a French book because I was to be removed.\u201d<\/p>\n Sikka further claimed that Meghna Gulzar also stole credit from the original writer of Chhapaak that starred Deepika Padukone in the lead role. He said, \u201cIt is not the only one, what did Meghna do further! Chhapaak. She took away that poor writer \u2013 the lawyer in Delhi, her credit away. Ask Ravi Tandon (Raveena Tandon\u2019s father) about what happened. There is a history of mafia operating. I have nothing against nobody, it\u2019s not my profession. This happens because I was an outsider.\u201d<\/p>\n He later claimed that his production Nanak Shah Fakir, which won three National Film Awards, was stopped from sending to Oscars because he was an outsider. He said, “\u201cMy film that was to go for Oscars \u2013 Nanak Shah Fakir was not allowed because someone came from Bollywood and said, \u2018Oh he is an outsider, we were to send our picture\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n Raazi<\/em> starred Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal in the lead roles. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the film was produced by Dharma Productions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Catch us for latest Bollywood News<\/a>, New Bollywood Movies<\/a> update, Box office collection<\/a>, New Movies Release <\/a>, Bollywood News Hindi<\/a>, Entertainment News<\/a>, Bollywood News Today<\/a> & upcoming movies 2020 <\/a> and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Calling](\"https:\/\/media2.bollywoodhungama.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Calling-Sehmat-writer-Harinder-Sikka-accuses-Raazi-director-Meghna-Gulzar-of-stealing-credit.jpg\" "\\"Calling")
