However, after watching the promo of the film, we couldn’t help but notice the striking similarity between the film and the Andrew Niccol directed Lord of War starring Nicolas Cage, which was a worldwide hit. The opening sequence of Lord of War where Nicolas Cage gives certain statistics about the arms deal in the international market, reminded us eerily of a scene Kunal Deshmukh refers to as a ‘signature shot’ of his film Jannat 2.

When quizzed about this resemblance, the director says, “One, our film is not like Lord of War and if people are looking for that kind of film, they will be disappointed. Yes, that one shot does look like Lord of War but that is my signature shot, something that I also used with Jannat where money showers on Emraan in a stadium.

” Incidentally, both the films are about illegal arms trading, though Kunal maintains, “Thematically, there could be similarities, but Lord of War dealt with international arm trade where as my film is very desi and revolves around the arms trade and gun culture in the capital.” Posted in (less)
