Foreign filmmaker’s satire on Saaho

After his film Largo Winch was controversially remade as Agnyaathavaasi by Trivikram, director Jerome Sal is back in the limelight for the film Saaho’s striking resemblances to the same film.

When the same was pointed out to him on Twitter, he responded jokingly, “I think I have a promising career in India. (sic)”

But on Sunday, he was a little wittier when he criticized Saaho and wrote, “It seems this second “freemake” of Largo Winch is as bad as the first one. So please Telugu directors, if you steal my work, at least do it properly? And as my “Indian career” tweet was of course ironic, I’m sorry but I’m not gonna be able to help. (sic).”

Our Telugu filmmakers just don’t seem to want to learn!
