  Stand-up comedian Vinay Sharma has accused the makers of Ujda Chaman, the official trailer of which released online on Wednesday, of plagiarism. Sharma, in a Thursday tweet, claimed that two of his jokes had been lifted by the film's writers without his permission. A disappointed Sharma shared a video on the micro-blogging platform as proof of his claim.
  He wrote, "Been getting messages since yesterday. Writers of Ujda Chaman have simply lifted 2 of my jokes without permission/credits. I wonder what precedence it sets for Bollywood. Just disappointing and sad."
  Ujda Chaman, that stars Sunny Singh of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety fame as the protagonist, tells the story of a 30-year-old Hindi professor, Chaman Kohli, who is suffering from premature balding. The submissive man is ridiculed by the fellow members of the society for his balding head. When an astrologer gives him a deadline to get married or remain a celibate forever, his world comes crashing down.
  Below, watch the Ujda Chaman trailer:
  Ujda Chaman instantly became a topic of discussion with its announcement. The reason: a film made on a similar subject, the Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer Bala, was announced just a couple of weeks back. The makers of Ujda Chaman, too, acknowledged the fact and indirectly took a jibe at the makers of Bala in the film's poster, that said, "Takle ki pehli aur asli film."
  Ujda Chaman, also featuring Maanvi Gagroo, Saurabh Shukla, Karishma Sharma in significant roles, is produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak under the film production banner of Panorama Studios. It is directed by Abhishek Pathak, who has turned director with the film. It is scheduled to hit the screens on November 8, a week ahead of the theatrical release of Bala. At the box office, it will lock horns with Marjaavaan.
