Actress Sarah Khan has finally addressed the brewing backlash over her upcoming drama Sher, which co-stars Danish Taimoor. The teaser sparked heated comparisons to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Raam Leela, leading many to accuse the makers of borrowing too heavily from Bollywood.
In an interview with Something Haute, Sarah clarified, “The story of Sher isn’t inspired by Raam Leela. Yes, you can say that the teaser is inspired.” She emphasized that the show has its own plot and unique characters, urging critics to wait for the full release.

While some fans appreciated her honesty, others continued to slam the industry for imitating Indian cinema’s style. “Why always try to look like Bollywood?” one user wrote, while others praised the teaser’s visual appeal and intensity.
The debate mirrors the recent controversy involving Atif Aslam’s Sanu Ik Pal remake, where originality and inspiration once again clashed in public opinion. With Sher set to release soon, it remains to be seen if the drama can silence its critics and win over audiences.
