Not up to every week remains for the discharge of Ali Zafar and Aditi Rao Hydari starrer London Paris New York and it appears there's an issue brewing not far away. It has turned out that the promos have now caught the eye of regulars with Hollywood romcoms who're quick to show similarities with Anne Hathaway starrer One Day.

"Similarities are way too for your face to be ignored. One Day was a few woman who meets her 'good friend' at some point yearly. Obviously they fall in love. Now LPNY has the ditto plot where Ali and Aditi see one another in these three cities annually for one day", a hardcore movie buff calls to tell.

The explanation why this similarity was overlooked earlier was as a result of One Day finding a belated release in India a few months ago after which disappearing in a jiffy. However now that the 'inspiration' is out in open, it needs to be seen what plan of action makers of both films plan to take.

"THERE MAY BE a method LPNY can still hope to move scot-free", says a prominent script writer, "IT'S set in 3 years time frame while One Day dragged on for TWO DECADES. Also, it was way more dramatic and comparatively serious."

Whether this argument holds true or not is something that the production team of LPNY can also be expected to be brainstorming. However if Ali is to believed, such speculations are baseless. He says, "Honestly maine One Day dekhi nahi hai isliye kuch keh nahi sakta. However once I had signed the movie then I USED TO BE told that it's original. Later people started telling me that apparently there have been similarities with Before Sunrise or even Hum Tum. Mujhe laga kahin aisa to nahi hai ki kuch same nikal aaye so I got the DVDs. Thankfully I FOUND that aisa nahi hai. Trust me; LPNY has its own way and direction."

Sure Ali, we wish to trust you on that. Now we are hoping the makers of One Day too feel the same.
