Netflix's popular series Squid Game is one of the most beloved shows in the world.
Recently, there have been allegations of plagiarism surrounding the series.
According to the Independent, an Indian filmmaker has filed a lawsuit against Netflix, claiming that Squid Game has copied his 2009 film titled 'Luck'.
However, the streaming platform has denied and rejected this claim.
The film, directed by Soham Shah, revolves around an underground king who hires luck-endowed individuals from around the world to test the odds while gamblers place bets on them.
According to Bloomberg, director Shah stated in his lawsuit that the similarities between the main storyline, themes, and plot structure of Squid Game and Luck are not coincidental.
Netflix, on the other hand, is determined to argue that this claim is baseless and that Squid Game was written by its creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk.
