India, March 14 -- A much-in-love couple's world comes crashing down when the girl is diagnosed with a memory loss condition. She goes missing one day, and the musician hero uses a song to find her. This is not just the plot of Mohit Suri's directorial Saiyaara (2025), but also of the 2019 YouTube short film Khwaabon by Amit Jadhav. These glaring similarities are the basis of Amit's allegations of plagiarism against the makers of the Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda starrer, made in a now-viral Instagram Reel. Talking to us, Amit, an actor, singer, and filmmaker, shares that he was about to convert his short into a feature film. "I had got producers, too. We were going to shoot in 2025, but then Saiyaara happened and everything got derailed," he shares, adding, "I went into depression and one day, when sloshed, I almost committed suicide. But my parents saw me and stopped it from happening." Amit says that the entire ordeal dates back four years. "I had tried speaking up about this last year, too. In 2022, I received an Instagram DM from YRF Talent (a division of Yash Raj Films, which produced Saiyaara) about getting in touch with me. I asked which project they were reaching out for, but they did not respond. I did not know anyone there, nor had I given any auditions." After the release of Saiyaara, Amit's friends pointed out the overlaps. "My friends said, 'Tera toh story same tha'. I was shocked. I tried reaching out to them, even going to their office, but my friends told me they won't entertain me... I wrote YRF two mails seeking clarification, but got no answer." When asked if he got his story or script registered, Amit admits that he did not. "I am a part of the Screenwriters' Association, but I did not get the story registered in 2019 because it was a short film and out on a public platform as proof," he says. Now, all he is seeking is acknowledgement: "I should get some credit. Or maybe I can be cast in a role in some project. That's all I am seeking." We reached out to both Mohit and YRF for comment on the matter, but did not receive a response till the time of going to press....
