“I told him that we didn’t wish to do so. Gupta recounts that Mastram’s producer Sunil Bohra had called him earlier as he wished to own the rights to the character. We now own the rights to make a Hindi film based on Savita Bhabhi we bagged the rights in December last year.”
Yet it is a character that enjoys a huge fan following in India. Nitin Gupta, producer of the film, 'Savita Bhabhi', says, “The character of 'Savita Bhabhi' was created in 2002 in UK and soon after, the comic strip was banned in India. This is a clear case of copyright violation.”
We have taken action under the relevant sections of the IT Act and blocked the site.Says a source, “In the film 'Mastram', there is a character called Savita, and her role shares many similarities with the 'Savita Bhabhi'. Justifying the ban, N Vijayaditya, controller of certifying authorities, government of India, had said, "There were several complaints against the site. On June 3, the department of telecommunications (DoT) of the ministry of communications and information technology, government of India, asked ISPs to block access to. The Save Savita project is offering scores of web tools and links to proxy servers that can easily give an Indian user access to the site by hoodwinking the servers of various internet service providers (ISPs).Īgarwal, the press release claimed, has been contacted by the BBC and will soon make his first appearance on television as the legitimate owner of the Savita Bhabhi property. Since news of the ban became public in the last week of June, the site has been attracting eyeballs from all over the world, giving its publishers a sudden cult following among anti-censorship activists. However, for all purposes of Savita Bhabhi, I will still be known as Deshmukh." Quoting Agarwal, a press release posted on a website started by the promoters and followers of Savita Bhabhi to rally against the ban, said: "If I wanted to fight this ban with any chance of getting it overturned, I realized I could not do it under the pseudonym of Deshmukh.
