Well Kept Secret- Arjun Kapoor Was a Producer of ‘Ki&Ka’

It’s a pleasant surprise, to say the least. We’ve heard from reliable sources that Arjun Kapoor had turned a producer, somewhat clandestinely, for ‘Ki&Ka’. The versatile young actor shared the risk of making an off beat romantic film with it’s producers, a bet that has paid off rich dividends.

Unlike most stars of the current generation, Arjun decided to keep his engagement as a producer low key. To him, the film mattered above all else. But because he belongs to a legacy of quality, mainstream films produced by his father & his family, Arjun’s expertise came in handy for ‘Ki&Ka’. Said a source from the film’s unit, “Having assisted filmmakers before, Arjun is a complete producer’s star, cooperative and a complete team player, with a fair understanding of film finance and budgeting.”  

Taking a silent but substantial risk on the film, Arjun is contented with its success today. This one now lays down the path for bigger things to come for this popular young star.

FAN is a straight lift off from my COPY-RIGHT SCRIPT 'Abhineta' - Mahesh Doijode

I had narrated this script to YASH ji in 1997 & year after in 1998 to Shah Rukh Khan - Mahesh Doijode

Scripts are generally registered with Film Writers Association, for the simple reason of security of the story and script writers. But sadly, the trend has changed recently with renowned actors, after listening to stories, change their attitude and then lift someone else's baby they work with their writing team and created the script of the original story which belonged to the earlier writer. 

Here comes Writer | Producer Mahesh Doijode who thought of raising his voice against film Titled "Abhineta" which was his Baby and now he had started scouting locations for his film.

Writer | Producer Mahesh Doijode told in an exclusive conversation to Priyanka Raina, "I had narrated this script to YASH ji in 1997 on the sets of Dil To Paagal Hai, amd then year after in 1998 had narrated to Shah Rukh Khan which he liked . But that time story was just first draft. I registered ABHINETA in Film Writers Association in 1999 .

"In 2005  At Prestigious FICCI FRAMES,  I  had a brief narration with Yash ji again & by the time I had more variations in my script. Yash ji liked the idea & was ready top produce, Only thing I told since I am a Producer too so will CoProduce it. May be this they must not have wanted. But they should have told me for story  Since ABHINETA was my Baby" ,  Mahesh Doijode  Adds

I will share the final evidences by court , once get approval by them. They are matching story and till now its same story

As per industry sources, this is the second time that it has happened with a SRK film. Earlier too, there were reports about Ra One where the disgruntled story writer was ultimately made a member of the production house team.
