The poet had earlier expressed his concerns for not being credited by Aanand L Rai and SRK for apparently using lines from his poem in 'Zero'
Shah Rukh Khan gave th perfect new year gift to all his fans by announcing the title of his upcoming film with Aanand L Rai. The film which has been titled Zero, is indeed special for SRK as he'll be seen playing a dwarf in it. While the teaser of Zero has been gathering immense love and appreciation from all corners, poet Mithilesh Baria was left mighty upset with Shah Rukh's tweet that announced the title.
Shah Rukh had tweeted writing, "टिकटें लिए बैठें हैं लोग मेरी ज़िंदगी की, तमाशा भी पूरा होना चाहिए! As promised, here’s the title of @aanandlrai ‘s film. @AnushkaSharma #KatrinaKaif @RedChilliesEnt @cypplOfficial #2ZERO18 http://bit.ly/Zero-Title"
Now, it so happens that the lines at the beginning of the tweet are from a poem by M Baria and neither sRK nor Rai credited him for using the same. When the poet got to know about it from his fans, he asked for a clarification from the makers of Zero.
A MidDay report quoted him as saying, "This appears to be a lapse on their part. But when the project is of this stature, all a writer wants is to be credited for his creation. I was shocked and hurt when fans bought this to my notice. It appears that the line is a part of the film’s narrative, not a mere tweet. So, I hope they give me my due credit.”
Baria also told the tabloid that he isn't aware how the makers are going to rectify the mistake that has been made on their part. "Will Shah sa’ab put out another tweet crediting me? Rai- ji seemed like an affable man. I hope they are fair," he said.
And now, looks like Baria sent a copy of his book titled Chhoti Chooti Baatein to Shah Rukh and the actor took to his Twitter account to thank him for the book as well as the lines that he had earlier tweeted out. SRK shared a picture of his book and wrote, " बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद। आपकी किताब मिली और पढ़कर बहुत अच्छा लगा। सोशल मीडिया पर आपने साबित कर दिया की हर जगह पर अच्छी बातें ही पसंद आती हैं। और “टिक्केटें लिये...” वाली पंक्तियों के लिए भी शुक्रिया ।"
