After Kesari 2, Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 5 has also been accused of plagiarism. Popular content creator Sandip Brahamin has accused choreographer Remo D’Souza of copying one of the steps from his videos for the Housefull 5 song “Laal Pari”. Sharing a video on his Instagram handle, Sandip claimed that his ‘signature’ move has been copied in the song.
Sandip is referring to the step where the actors of the film can be seen wearing hats and shaking their heads. To justify his claim, Sandip also shared his old videos, where he can be seen performing the same step.
He said, “You all have seen my signature moves. My move has been copied in Housefull 5 song Laal Pari. Many of my friends DMed me on Instagram. Therefore, I rechecked on Instagram and YouTube. They’ve neither mentioned me nor have they given me credit. I don’t know what is happening.”
The video has started gaining attention more than a month after it was first posted by Sandip. In the clip, he also urged his fans to support him in his efforts.

“Laal Pari”, sung by Yo Yo Honey Singh and Simar Kaur, features actors Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, and Nargis Fakhri, among others.
