They always say that the path of the truth, however right, might not always be the easiest. Atleast some film makers are learning it the hard way trying to be right and politically correct about things. Here is a article on how AAMIR almost never got made until the director went and took a clear chit from the makers of CAVANTE, a Filipino movie on similar lines. It also goes on to tell how the makers had to cough up 8 lakhs from the 2 crore project on acquiring the rights to the Peggy Lee song - Its A Good Day.
Also we hear that David Dhawan after making a blockbuster out of the HITCH inspired PARTNERS...now hopes to do the same with yet another Hollywood runaway success story - The Wedding Crashers. However this time Dhawan wants to do this right!
So now here goes more on the copyright issue where some film makers are turning a new leaf trying to do things the right way. However they believe that the process could take a lot longer and it is best to do it the traditional hush-hush way. What say?
Even magazines are not backing out of the copyright issues as we see OK! magazine coming strong on its exclusivety factor and they want to ensure that their work remains exclusive indeed, as we see a case of Shahid Kapur's fansite being hauled up for putting up pics of the star from the OK! Photoshoot. In fact the stars themselves are not given rights to use them.
