That Time a Bollywood Remake of 'Memento' Pissed Off Christopher Nolan
The Big Picture Christopher Nolan burst into the cultural zeitgeist with his magnificent second-effort Memento, a gripping tale about a man who must find the perpetrator to his wife's murder, whose efforts are hampered by a rare form of short-term memory loss. Critics have hailed it as one of the best films of 2001, and it has gone on to receive universal acclaim, as well as raking in the box-office profits.
When the news of the film's success reached the radar of Christopher Nolan, he wasn't particularly pleased about it. Bollywood actor and producer Anil Kapoor reportedly had an interaction with the British filmmaker. Nolan voiced his displeasure about the situation, and was disappointed that he failed to receive any credit.
For a moment, it actually blew up. In 2009, Twentieth Century Fox filed a lawsuit against BR films, a Mumbai based production company who created a "substantial reproduction" of My Cousin Vinny called Bindaas Hai . The case was settled for a sum of $200,000, to which BR films subsequently misunderstood as a go signal to continue production of the film. Fox sued again, and the film remains unreleased up to this very day.
