The legal notice emphasizes that in 2015, Tiwari and Bano conceived an original storyline for a film centered around a couple’s private video that gets stolen, causing chaos and hilarious consequences. Bano has also provided an email sent to the Screen Writers Association to support their claim and challenge the filmmakers of ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.’
