Anushka Sharma-starrer Phillauri was released in 2017 and the film received mixed reviews. Many said that the film could have been better had the flashback not been so long. Apart from criticism, Phillauri was also embroiled in a controversy. Gayatri Cine Productions had alleged that the makers of Phillauri had stolen the script from their film Mangal Phera.

According to reports, Gayatri Cine Productions had also filed a petition in the Bombay High Court seeking a stay on the release of Phillauri. Their representatives – Gayatri and Dashrath Rathod – demanded the court to serve notices to Fox Star Studios, Anushka Sharma, her brother Karnesh and her company Clean Slate Films. Phillauri’s writer Anvita Dutt was also named in this petition.

This petition created difficulties for the producers. Despite these problems, things went easy for him as Justice GS Patel dismissed the case saying the release date was close. Because of this, as Justice GS Patel said, the release date of Phillauri cannot be withheld. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 5 lakh on Gayatri Cine Productions for wasting time.

Phillauri narrates the story of a man who must marry a tree to remove the dangers from his love life. The twist in the story comes when it is revealed that a spirit lives on the tree.

Talking about Mangal Phera, the film was first made in Gujarati and then in Bhojpuri. After that Mangal Phera was also made in Bengali. Mangal Phera narrates the story of Chanda, a woman who is married to a tree to get rid of the defects in her horoscope. The twist in this story comes when an evil spirit living in the tree wants to make her his wife. The concept of both the films, where the protagonist is married to a tree, was the same.
