'Daawat-E-Ishq' co-writer, Jyoti Kapoor has filed a complaint with the Film Writers Association (FWA) alleging director Kunal Kohli's next film, 'Phir Se', is based on the story she had narrated to him last year. The case is now pending before the FWA's dispute settlement committee with Kohli denying the accusations.
An industry source says, "Kapoor's agency had sent her script to Kunal Kohli early last year. He liked it a lot and when he met her, he suggested certain changes in the script. There were also some issues regarding credit and money. Eventually, the deal did not materialise."
