Speaking to Aajtak, Nilotpal Mrinal clarified his calling out, and also made it clear that the makers have allegedly picked up only 30 per cent of his book. He said, “Through Aajtak I want to clarify that TVF used 30 per cent part from my book Dark Horse and improvised on it to make 100 per cent of their web series Aspirants. Therefore, all the episodes of the web series are part of my book. In my Facebook post I have said this clearly. I don’t know why is there a confusion about it.”
He added, “I watched Aspirants when it released, and I realised from the first episode that the content for the series has been stolen from my book. After watching all the five episodes of the series, I was sure that the makers of Aspirants have stolen the soul of my book to make the web series.”
Meanwhile, TVF has also issued a statement regarding Nilotpal Mrinal’s claims. They wrote, “TVF is a creator-centric orgzanization which has been nurturing writers since inception and takes their rights very seriously. A social media post has alleged that our show ‘Aspirants’ has been inspired from another literary work. The Company has received a notice in this regard and we will fully cooperate to investigate the matter.”
