Ever since Bol Bachchan was announced, there have been speculations galore around it being an official remake of Amol Palekar-Utpal Dutt starrer Golmaal. Since Rohit Shetty is the director of Bollywood's biggest franchise till date, Golmaal, there were no doubts whatsoever that it was time for payback. However, as it has turned out, even though rights of Hrishikesh Mukherjee directed laugh fest have been bought by the makers of Bol Bachchan, there would be an altogether different spin to the tale, hence ensuring that quite a few surprises would be in store for the viewers. "For Bol Bachchan, Rohit didn't want any controversies whatsoever", says a source attached to the film, "For his Sunday, he had bought rights of the Telugu film Anukokunda Oka Roju.

If there are any similarities between Rohit Shetty's Golmaal Returns and the 1973 hit comedy Aaj Ki Taaza Khabar, then Shetty isn't aware of them. Nor has he received any notification, legal or otherwise, from the widow of the earlier film's producer who has made copyright-infringement claims. "I haven't seen Aaj Ki Taaza Khabar yet. I've just come back from a holiday with my wife and son. I plan to see the film as soon as possible. I want to see what the similarities are." Needless to say, Rohit was clueless about the likeness between the two films. "If I knew anything about the similarity I'd have happily paid up.
