The film Mastiii 4 is facing a plagiarism lawsuit filed by content creator Ashish Sharma in the Delhi High Court. Sharma alleges that a comedy scene in the movie, starring Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani, and Vivek Oberoi, copies his viral Instagram reel from January 2024 without consent. He claims the film's producers plagiarized the idea, storyline, character interactions, and punchline. Sharma is seeking an injunction, financial compensation, and profit reports. The court has issued a notice to the producers, who must respond before any interim order is considered, with the next hearing scheduled for January 13.
