Pakistani Film Sher Accused Of Plagiarising Scenes From Deepika-Ranveer's Ram Leela
The teaser of Pakistani drama Sher, starring Danish Taimoor and Sarah Khan, is accused of copying scenes from Bollywood's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela.
The new teaser of the Pakistani drama Sher, starring Danish Taimoor and Sarah Khan, has courted controversy online. Viewers are accusing the creators of ripping off scenes from the hit Bollywood film Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, starring Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh.
Just days after its release, the teaser has been accused of looking eerily similar to a famous moment from the 2013 Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. In that scene, Deepika and Ranveer, playing lovers from rival families, face off while aiming guns at each other.
In Sher, Danish is seen holding a gun, and Sarah, dressed in a traditional ghagra choli, stands her ground with a weapon of her own. The tense, charged standoff has fans pointing out the obvious parallels to that iconic Ram Leela moment.
Take a look at some reactions here:
Acha Ramleela ka sasti version bhi aa gaya pak mein😂 https://t.co/svOay2z4X9 — Debasish Singh (@cricdebasish) April 29, 2025
This isn't even Ramleela. This is Badlapur leikin bohot zyada sastay main. https://t.co/4AIPQqoir4 — Koko (@brerkhargosh) April 29, 2025
The makers of Sher have not yet responded to the plagiarism claims, and the lead actors, Danish Taimoor and Sarah Khan, have also stayed silent on the matter so far.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela is a retelling of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, set against the backdrop of two warring families, the Rajadis and Saneras, in a fictional Indian town. Ranveer Singh plays Ram, a carefree charmer from one clan, while Deepika Padukone's Leela is the fierce and fiery daughter of the rival family.
Their intense romance blooms despite their families' hatred, but as love clashes with loyalty and blood ties, tragedy takes center stage.
The film released in November 2013. It also starred Richa Chadda, Supriya Pathak, Gulshan Devaiah, Sharad Kelkar, Raza Murad and others.

Rauf Slams India-PAK For WCL Boycott: 'Saath Shopping, Par Public Ke Saamne...'
Last Updated: Ex-cricketer Abdur Rauf criticized Indian and Pakistani veterans for canceling the 2025 Legends World Championship, accusing them of public division but private mingling. Former Pakistan international Abdur Rauf has made a scathing attack on veterans from India and Pakistan whose decisions led to the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 match, scheduled for Sunday, getting called off. He alleged that the players from the two teams roam, mingle, and even go shopping together, but portray a different image of division and pride in front of the public. India and Pakistan were scheduled to play the game on Sunday evening. However, after backlash from players like Harbhajan Singh, Shikhar Dhawan, and Yuvraj Singh, who were strongly pro-India and anti-Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attacks, they started to withdraw from the game one by one. WCL eventually announced canceling the game, saying they assumed normalcy and unknowingly hurt the sentiments of those involved. 'Public ke saamne yeh dikhate ho ki hum nahi khelenge, aur saath mein ghumoge and shopping karoge, yeh unfair hai [You show the public that you won't play each other, but behind the scenes you travel together and go shopping — that's unfair]," Rauf said, as quoted by The Times of India. 'They hang around together, eat together, party together — then when it comes to playing a match, why do they portray a different picture in front of the public?" Rauf asked. 'It's not just Pakistani players — even Indian players feel it. We've played together, shared dressing rooms, eaten together, gone shopping on tours, stayed in each other's hotel rooms — we're friends off the field. To then portray such a hard divide to the public — like 'we won't play them' — that creates unnecessary hype," he added. 'Behind the scenes, the reality is very different. The fans, who come with so much excitement and emotion, are left disappointed. It's not a good look for cricket. We owe better to the game and its fans," Rauf said. WCL is a private league, co-owned by Bollywood actor Ajay Devgan. It doesn't come under the BCCI's ambit. But while the board bars Pakistani players from IPL and is against bilateral cricket with the neighbor, it's also under pressure regarding the Asia Cup and ICC World Cup matches between the countries later this year. view comments First Published: July 20, 2025, 17:39 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Dawood Ibrahim was madly in love with this actress, made her his girlfriend, she wanted to become PM, got Aishwarya Rai's role in..., her name is...
Actresses and scandals are something that often run on parallel lines. From affairs to infamous divorces, every now and then, headlines are made for actresses' personal as well as professional lives. However, today, we will discuss an actress who is neither from Bollywood nor the South industry, yet she grabbed headlines. This actress even made Indian mob boss, drug lord, and terrorist Dawood Ibrahim crazy for her. Yes, you read that right! This actress was said to be Dawood's girlfriend. If you are wondering who we are talking about, it's the Pakistani star Mehwish Hayat. Who is Mehwish Hayat? Mehwish Hayat is a popular Pakistani film and television actress who has been a part of several highest-grossing films. Not only that, she is also the highest-grossing actor in the history of the Pakistani film industry. Mehwish made her debut with the film Jawani Phir Nahi Ani (2015). Later, she did films such as Actor in Law (2016). Hayat has since starred in comedies like Punjab Nahi Jaungi (2017), Load Wedding (2018), and London Nahi Jaunga (2022) — all of which are considered among the highest-grossing Pakistani films. Mehwish Hayat's Relationship With Dawood Ibrahim? Reports suggest that Dawood Ibrahim allegedly became attracted to Mehwish Hayat after seeing her in an item song, and her rumored connection with him is believed to have helped her land several high-profile films. The rumors of Mehwish Hayat's relationship with Dawood Ibrahim began after she was awarded Pakistan's civilian honor, Tamgha-e-Imtiaz, in 2019. For the unversed, Hayat is 27 years younger than Dawood Ibrahim. Mehwish Hayat Got Aishwarya Rai's Role Yes, you read that right! Mehwish was initially considered for Aishwarya Rai's role in Fanney Khan. However, the actress was not cast in the end. Mehwish Hayat Wanted to Be Pakistan's Prime Minister In a recent conversation with Geo TV, Mehwish Hayat revealed her interest in politics, expressing her desire to one day become the Prime Minister of Pakistan. Hayat said, 'I am inspired by their (ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party) politics because they have brought about good changes and a paradigm shift in the way society used to think. Imran Khan was a cricketer before he took the plunge into politics. If a cricketer can become the prime minister of the country, surely actors can also become one as well.'
