Quite a few scenes from the trailer seem extremely similar to Aashiqui 2 and no wonder that it became a hot topic on social media. Just like Aashiqui 2, this flick is also about a hard-drinking country musician who discovers and falls in love with a young singer (essayed by Lady Gaga). A Star Is Born meanwhile is not only directed by Bradley Cooper but also features him as the lead actor, co-writer and co-producer. His alcoholism however refuses to leave him and he has no choice but to end his life by jumping into the sea, especially when he realizes that she might put her career at jeopardy because of him. This is when he comes across a small time singer and turns her into a rising star. Aashiqui 2, starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor, was a story of a famous singer whose career is fading away due to his excessive dependence on alcohol. After all, the similarities between the two were far too much. It was one of those rare episodes when the Westerners have supposedly copied a Hindi film, that too without obtaining rights! As a result, Twitterati was abuzz with this bit of information. Also, legally, the filmmakers could no longer copy foreign movies as most of the Hollywood studios set up their offices in India.Īs a result, the accusations of A Star Is Born being copied from Aashiqui 2 were quite significant. The advent of social media gave the users a platform to expose these wrongdoings. But then awareness grew as audiences in India started watching films from all over the world and they could instantly guess if an upcoming film is a rip off. For years, filmmakers made a killing by lifting scenes or sometimes the entire plot from a foreign film and then neatly Indianizing it. It often happens that it’s the Bollywood films which give a déjà vu of Western or sometimes Korean films.
The trailer after all had a very uncanny resemblance to that of the 2013 blockbuster Aashiqui 2.
In June 2018, moviegoers and netizens went in a tizzy after they saw the theatrical trailer of the upcoming Hollywood film, A Star Is Born.
