00:00As you all know, the film that has just been released, Vicky Vidya's video, that story was registered in 2015.

00:17I sent a notice to the production houses.

00:20In response to the notice, they mentioned their date, which is October 27, 2015.

00:30I held a press conference in response to them.

00:35In which I said that my registration is two months earlier than theirs.

00:39That is, the story that your writer has stolen, whatever he has given you, he has stolen it from me.

00:47Because my registration is two months earlier.

00:50After that, the production house called me for settlement.

00:54And I had this meeting in a hotel in Juhu's Sun and Suns.

01:01In which a party member of Karni Sena, who is also the National President of the Film Association, was involved.

01:10And after that, he got me signed on the settlement letter.

01:16And after that he said that your name will go in this film.

01:20Then he said that your agreement will be made tomorrow.

01:26This is on the 3rd.

01:28When he also swore to the Goddess that today is the day of the Goddess, it is very good.

01:33So this is your start in the T.E. series.

01:37And you have become a member of the T.E. series.

01:39And he has made a lot of commitments for the future.

01:44And after that, from the 4th, his excuses started.

01:49That we are sick, so this and that.

01:51And while doing it, he brought it to the release.

01:55And finally today it is that neither did he give his name nor did he fulfill any of his commitments.

02:01So in a way, he has cheated me.

02:03I would just like to say that the T.E. series,

02:06by taking the name of the Gods and Goddesses,

02:11who have printed billions of rupees in their name,

02:14have built such a big empire.

02:17By taking the name of the Gods and Goddesses,

02:19by taking their oaths,

02:21by considering them witnesses,

02:23you should not have stabbed me in the back.

02:26And maybe you do this.

02:28So this is the situation so far.

02:37See, the best thing is that I had sent him a notice.

02:43I will send it to you, to the media.

02:46So in the notice, I have properly mentioned that my story is on this DVD.

02:52Because the DVD is made by a new couple and they miss the DVD.

02:58My entire script is written on the struggle to find it.

03:04So they did not deny this.

03:06That's why they just said that the date of our registration is October 27, 2015.

03:14Even after that, when they found out that this is my previous registration,

03:24they came to me for settlement.

03:26Settlement means that you have 100% accepted that this story is mine.

03:33Still, you have betrayed me.

03:36You did 400 BC with me.

03:39There are many things.

03:40And my lawyer is going to file many cases against him.

03:48You will come to know about it in the coming days.

03:56See, Kishan Kumar ji spoke to me directly on the phone.

04:00I told you that when the matter of settlement came in this project,

04:06then in that matter, the party member of Karni Sena, Surjit Singh,

04:13who is also the president of Karni Sena Film Association,

04:20you must have heard his name in many cases,

04:23he got involved and he made me talk to Kishan Kumar.

04:28Kishan Kumar ji promised me.

04:31I just told him that I have come from so far,

04:34I have been struggling for 20 years,

04:37I have done so many things just for my future, for my name.

04:41So, my credit is important.

04:43So, he said, you will get your credit.

04:45Kishan Kumar ji, who is the co-founder of T-Series,

04:49then after that, he also said that you are a good writer and director.

04:56You come to us, we will make a film on your story.

05:03You work with us.

05:05I have a song, which is India's first song,

05:11which is 100% affixed, with the name Shankara.

05:15So, for its release, he said that we will release it according to your conditions.

05:22So, Kishan ji has made many commitments to me.

05:25Next day, when they sent a person from T-Series, whose name is Brij Bhushan.

05:32Brij Bhushan said that he is from the music department,

05:36he is the main of the music department.

05:40Then he also made many commitments to me,

05:44that your day is good.

05:47This is after the legal notice.

05:51I will show it to you.

06:00First of all, I gave this legal notice to them,

06:06in which Balaji, Ikta Kapoor, Shobha Kapoor, Bhushan Kumar,

06:14these are the names of all the producers.

06:17After that, in my legal notice, I made it clear,

06:22that my concept is on whom.

06:25I made it clear that it is on DVD,

06:28which is made by a new couple and they miss the DVD.

06:31You can see this.

06:33After that, in response to my legal notice,

06:38they did not deny my story.

06:42You can see.

06:44They just mentioned that their writer, Yusuf Ali Khan,

06:50you can see this, second paragraph, second page.

06:54He said that our writer's concept is registered on October 27, 2015.

07:03This is clear.

07:05After this, I did a press conference,

07:09because I would like to tell you,

07:12that I have a registration before them.

07:15This was the title of my film, Ishq Mein Risk.

07:18And this is on August 13, 2015.

07:20You can see.

07:22This is clear.

07:25Then, when they came to know about all this,

07:30they gave me this for settlement.

07:33This is from T-series, you can see.

07:35This is the settlement letter.

07:39Settlement letter is given only when you believe 100%

07:45that this story is of Amit Gupta.

07:47Only then, you have done this settlement with Amit Gupta.

07:50And in this, documentation...

07:52Sir, what did they say about documentation?

07:53Sir, in this, they said about documentation,

07:56because they said that next day,

07:58you will get the agreement of the writer,

08:00you will get your composition.

08:07Whatever we will give, you keep it.

08:09I said, okay, sir.

08:10My main fight is for my rights.

08:13And my right is my credit, sir.

08:16Because I have worked hard.

08:18Since 2015, as a writer-director,

08:21I was pitching this.

08:22I couldn't do it for any reason.

08:24At that time, I had told this project to a producer.

08:28And one of his relatives who used to come with him,

08:35Yusuf Ali Khan used to come with him.

08:38And from there, this concept was stolen.

08:41I left that circle.

08:43So, he felt that I am not in the industry.

08:47But I am continuing, sir.

08:49So, I am working.

08:50So, okay, his writer has agreed.

08:53But the problem is that

08:55if someone makes a fake land for you,

08:58shows his document and sells it to you,

09:00and if you make a tower on that land,

09:04make a palace, make a house,

09:07then you have become its owner.

09:10That land is mine.

09:12So, I will ask for the right of my land, right, sir?

09:16Because I want the land.

09:18And if you don't give the land,

09:20then whatever happens to it,

09:23either you return my land to me,

09:27but you have made a film on it,

09:29which is on the story.

09:30Everything is over for me.

09:32Now, this is the fight for my rights,

09:36which I am fighting with them.

09:43Sir, the one who fights for rights,

09:45many things are affected in his life.

09:48But this does not mean that

09:51we should stop raising our voice.

09:53Because how long will you bear?

09:55There are millions of people who have been hunted by them.

09:59People are not able to dare.

10:01There are so many big people.

10:02They will spoil our lives.

10:04I mean, they are humans.

10:06They will not become God.

10:08I am fighting against humans,

10:10and I have no personal enmity with humans.

10:14I am just asking for my right,

10:16that this is my right,

10:17and I should get it.

10:18I have all the proofs, all the evidence.

10:21Even the meeting you did with me,

10:25I have all the recordings,

10:28as evidence,

10:29because I did not trust them,

10:33that they can change their mind at any time.

10:37That's why I turned on the recording of my phone,

10:40so that I have some evidence of their commitment.

10:44Because anyone can be sold.

10:46So who sold it?

10:47What was sold?

10:48I don't want to accuse anyone,

10:50but I know that it was wrong with me.

10:52You have made a lot of commitments.

10:55You are Krishan Kumar.

10:56You are such a big name.

10:57And you can see my letter.

11:00This letter has come from T-Series.

11:03T-Series means that

11:05this letter must have been passed

11:07with the consent of the 9 producers.

11:10It is not that this letter has come from

11:13Krishan Kumar's personal letterhead.

11:15This has come from T-Series.

11:17So this means that

11:18even after the consent of all the producers,

11:21you are still so big.

11:23You are thinking that

11:24you have cut my limbs by giving this letter.

11:31Sir, look,

11:32the world is very big here.

11:36You get justice,

11:38but you have to fight for it.

11:40I will have to work a little harder.

11:43I have complete faith in our justice system

11:48that it will definitely give me justice.

11:51And the public also knows

11:54what is right and what is wrong.

11:56After reading my story,

11:58even a 5-year-old child will say

12:02that this film has been copied from Amit Gupta's story.

12:07So when a 5-year-old child can give this statement,

12:11because after reading it,

12:12you yourself will say that

12:13yes, this is a copy.

12:15All the other critics

12:18have given their opinions about the film.

12:23So they have also said the same story

12:27which is written in my story,

12:30which is written in my registered copy.

12:32They have not said anything different from it.

12:34So the one-line story is called the central idea

12:38without which no film is made.

12:40So the story of this Vicky Vidya,

12:44the story of this film is mine.

12:50This is completely clear, sir.

12:52So justice will be served, sir.

12:54Either today or tomorrow.

12:55The rest is up to my lawyer.

12:57We will go legally.

12:58We are not making a force here and there.

13:01A lot can be made.

13:03I can go directly and meet him.

13:05But I am going legally.

13:07Now maybe this is not just a matter of copyright.

13:10There are a lot of things that will happen to him.

13:14Because of him,

13:15I have been so disturbed for the past few days.

13:19I have been mentally disturbed.

13:20I have been mentally harassed.

13:22My family has been disturbed.

13:24There are a lot of things.

13:25Financially, I have been a lot.

13:27I had just gone to ask for the right.

13:29And behind that,

13:30I have lost so much work.

13:32A lot of things have happened.

13:34But I am not going to leave him without the right.

13:41No, the association does not know anything in this.

13:45Whenever you register a story.

13:49Earlier, when we used to go to register a story,

13:56we used to get a stamp on every page.

14:02And the authorised signature used to go.

14:07They did not have a chance to read the story.

14:09There was no time.

14:10They used to give you a stamp and a signature.

14:14So they do not know what is written in the page.

14:17So even if someone copies and registers,

14:23the association does not know what is the story.

14:33Look, I will say the same thing for everyone.

14:36A lot of writers have called me these days.

14:40And they told me their problems.

14:46Sir, we also got robbed.

14:47We could not dare.

14:49This and that happened with them.

14:51Many people cheered me up.

14:56Sir, we got courage because of you.

14:59Now we can do something in the future.

15:01I met some directors.

15:03They said, sir, this has happened to us.

15:06So you tell us what to do.

15:08This has happened to a lot of people, sir.

15:10So this change that I saw in my circle,

15:14and the new people who are going to meet,

15:16I felt very good.

15:18There was a little change that people started getting courage.

15:22Because I am fighting against very big people.

15:24So I will say this much.

15:26There is a very old saying.

15:30More than the oppressor, the sinner is the one who endures the oppression.

15:37So you don't tolerate oppression at all.

15:40If something wrong has happened to you, then fight against it.

15:44Because if you fight against them honestly,

15:48then you will win.

15:50No one can defeat you.

15:52Because no one can be greater than God.

15:54He was a Ravan.

15:56He felt that no one can defeat him.

16:00But he defeated him.

16:02He died in his pride.

16:04So you move ahead.

16:06You will definitely succeed.
