Sujeeth’s directorial has also come under fresh accusations of plagiarism after several fans of the French filmmaker Jerome Salle pointed out similarities between Saaho and the former’s film Largo Winch, which released in 2008.

“I think I have a promising career in India,” Salle wrote, in response to a Twitter user who’d written, “Buddy another day and another free make of your Largo Winch movie in India.” Salle continued, “It seems this second “freemake” of Largo Winch is as bad as the first one. So please Telugu directors, if you steal my work, at least do it properly? And as my ‘Indian career’ tweet was of course ironic, I’m sorry but I’m not gonna be able to help. (sic)”

Saaho had earlier also been accused of plagiarism. The film’s poster was said to be a direct rip-off of Ryan Gosling’s Blade Runner 2049. Another poster bore resemblances to om Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege video game, Hindustan Times reported.

While, more recently many stated that “Baby Wont You Tell Me” song’s CGI was copied from artist Shilo Shiv Suleman’s Burning Man installation.
