CALIFORNIA: Netflix is facing a legal challenge from Indian filmmaker<\/a> Soham Shah, who alleges that the streaming giant’s hit series “Squid Game<\/a>” plagiarized the plot of his 2009 film “Luck”.<\/p>\n

Shah claims that the Korean-language series, created by Hwang Dong Hyuk, borrowed heavily from his thriller movie without permission. He argues that both stories feature a group of desperate individuals competing in a deadly game for a large cash prize, with each participant’s death increasing the potential winnings for the remaining players.<\/p>\n

Shah’s lawsuit seeks to block Netflix<\/a> from further infringing on his copyright and names Hwang Dong Hyuk as a co-defendant.<\/p>\n

However, Netflix has denied the allegations, stating that “Squid Game” is an original work created and written by Hwang Dong Hyuk. The company intends to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.<\/p>\n

Notably, “Luck” received mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office, whereas “Squid Game” has achieved immense popularity worldwide.<\/p>\n

The second season of “Squid Game” is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on December 26. The court has yet to deliver a verdict on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
