Click to play videoMumbai: Shaurya the new film starring Rahul Bose and Javed Jafferi and a special appearance by Kay Kay Menon is directed by Samar Khan. The film is set against the Air Force backdrop and the buzz is that its a copy of the Tom Cruise Demi Moore starrer A Few Good Men.
So, is the allegation true ?
To this, actor Rahul Bose says, "Good question, very good question. I asked Samar the same thing. Both films are based on courtroom dramas. The lead in Shaurya looks like Tom Cruise. But I haven't seen A Few Good Men so I can't say for sure."
However, Samar Khan admits that his film may remind you of the Hollywood blockbuster just a bit.
"Of course my film will remind you of A Few Good Men. It's about a court martial. There is an accused, there are two lawyers, and there is one judge and there is a courtroom," says Khan.
So the next valid question then would be: What is so new about Shaurya?
Rahul Bose says, "There is no character like Demi Moore's in Shaurya. Minisha's character in the film is nothing like Demi Moore's."
Samar Khan hastens to add that the story is completely different and that the characterisation is not like A Few Good Men at all.
And there is something more. Rosa Catalano, best known as Sail Ali Khan's ex-girlfriend finally makes her Bollywood debut with the film, though she does not speak much in Hindi, for she is doing only an item number in the film.
