MUMBAI: Web series are all the rage right now in India with several hits shows like Paatal Lok and Aarya making its presence felt. Another show that had a lasting impact on its audience is Zoya Akhtar's Made in Heaven which released in 2019 and was jam-packed with star power including Sobhita Dhulipala, Arjun Mathur, Kalki Koechlin, Jim Sarbh, Shashank Arora and Shivani Raghuvanshi amongst others. While work on Made in Heaven Season 2 is currently underway, acclaimed film director Onir is sharing a particular grievance he has with the series. 

A Twitter user shared a YouTube video that showed similarities between Made in Heaven and Onir's National Award winning film I Am which released in 2010. In one particular sequence, both of which coincidentally have Arjun Mathur in it sees two homosexual men making out in a car and being caught by a notorious cop. "Did the makers of #MadeInHeaven ask/take permission/inform @Onir before lifting this sequence frame by frame from his National Award winning film #IAM. Watch! Common actor in both," the fan asked to which Onir had a staunch reply to give.

"I was quite taken aback when I saw that so much of that section of I AM was not only there as content but shot exactly in the same way. But acknowledgment has never been the strength of this industry," the 51-year-old filmmaker tweeted.

Moreover, there were certain similarities with Onir's other groundbreaking film My Brother…Nikhil.
