In April, filmmaker Sarika Mene claimed that Shoojit Sircar's October was plagiarised from her Marathi drama, Aarti — The Unknown Love Story. In the latest development, as the Varun Dhawan-starrer released on Amazon Prime, Mene sent a legal notice to the makers and the streaming giant. Based on her brother Sunny Pawar's real-life story, Aarti traces his journey as he stood by his girlfriend Aarti Makwana, who was paralysed in a car accident, till her last breath.
