Director Shirish Kunder recently made his debut in the short film world. His directorial venture 'Kriti' garnered a positive response among the industry and film critics. But the film is also in news for the allegation of plagiarism by Aneel Neupane's film titled 'Bob.'  

Shirish as well as the makers have denied such allegations and have filed a legal notice against them for laying false and defamatory allegations on him. According to a source, "Even though the film released recently, the concept was discussed with the cast and crew a year ago, they were given the script and their dates locked 6 months prior to the shoot which happened in February 2016. In a professional project such as this, even the launch event was planned three months in advance."

'Kriti' is a psychological thriller and stars Manoj Bajpayee, Radhika Apte and Neha Sharma in pivotal roles.
