Akshay Kumar’s ‘Raksha Bandhan’ copies Pakistani film ‘Load Wedding’?

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's upcoming movie 'Raksha Bandhan's teaser has been released. Naturally, the viewers' first impression is that it was significantly influenced by the Pakistani film "Load Wedding."

The Lollywood film was released in 2019 and starred superstars Fahad Mustafa and Mehwish Hayat in lead roles. Netizen's hawk eyes have spotted another inspiration or copy and are now sharing their views.

Journalist Mahwash Ajaz took to her Twitter account and expressed that the upcoming Bollywood movie seems to have borrowed heavily from director Nabeel Qureshi’s film. 

“Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film seems to have ‘borrowed’ heavily from @nabeelqureshi’s #LoadWedding. Imitation is flattery? Because this isn’t the first time they’ve copied Nabeel’s work.”
