On Thursday, producer-author Aliya Curmally, in a series of tweets, accused producer Pragya Kapoor of plagiarism. Curmally, whose Toxic City is due to hit the shelves next year, alleged that Kapoor lifted the novel’s theme for Maali, a feature film that the latter is presenting. “I would sit and talk about [my novel] every day to her and her husband... Little did I know [they were] sponging [off me] (sic),” read one of Curmally’s tweets.
