Sameer and Kishore Sadhwani, the makers of the short film Laddoo, have now finally given credits to the original writer, Pankaj Chaturvedi. Laddoo revolves around the topic of religion and it focuses on the similarities between Allah and God and puts it out in a very effective manner. The controversy around the short film Ladoo was they didn’t give the credits to the writer. Sameer and Kishore Sadhwani have stated that they met the writer Pankaj Chaturvedi back in 2013 and he had shared the script of the story with them.
Sameer and Kishore Sadhwani finally released the film on January 31, 2019. They said that it’s a clear case of negligence as there was a time gap between from 2013 to 2019. As soon as it was brought to notice, Friday Filmworks acknowledged this case and immediately asked Sameer and Kishore Sadhwani to credit to Pankaj Chaturvedi as the original writer.
The director duo Sameer and Kishore Sadhwani said, “It’s a clear case of negligence on our part. We met Pankaj Chaturvedi in 2013 when we heard the script from him and we loved it immediately but never had a chance to meet Pankaj after that. Recently we revisited the idea of this script and thought of making it and because of the huge gap, unfortunately, did not realize to keep Pankaj in the loop while developing the same.”
“We are more than happy to give Pankaj his credit and we are absolutely sorry that we unknowingly skipped his name from the credits list as the original writer. We would also like to apologize to Friday Filmworks as they were unnecessarily dragged into the controversy for no wrongdoing of theirs and we thank them for all the support,” they added.
Devendra Deshpande (Business Head) of Friday Filmworks also shared his views, "We as a content company take pride in giving credit where it is due and as soon as we realized that some mishap has happened we went to the root of it to get it rectified. The writer is an extremely talented person and deserves all credits".
Pankaj is happy that he got his credits and said, "Really happy that Friday Filmworks got into it immediately and rectified. It’s embarrassing for the matter to get into ugly space. Never intended to do the same.”
