However, Kunder noticed a legal notice to Aneel forwrong claims demanding an unconditional written apology from the Nepalese director.
A frustrated Neupane said: ‘Now, I have no idea how to go about on this. I’m angry not because Mr.Shirish Kunder practically stole the plot and made it into his film. I’m angry because We didn’t even have lunch money while shooting BOB, and a spot boy for Kriti probably made more money than BOB’s entire budget. My team and I didn’t work our asses off just so some rich dude from India could turn it into this and get away with it. That’s just not fair.’
Anees, on his counterpart wrote that: ‘We had the film ready in October 2015. I had uploaded it on Vimeo as a private video to share it with close friends. You can see here that the video is 7 months old.’
