Danish Taimoor walks into the frame with a gun.
Pakistani drama Sher, starring Danish Taimoor and Sarah Khan, is facing accusations of copying the Bollywood film Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela.
The first teaser dropped recently and immediately sparked controversy ahead of its release.
Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela starred Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh.
Sher is written by Zanjabeel Asim Shah and directed by Aehsun Talish, two highly regarded names in Pakistani television.
The drama pairs Danish Taimoor and Sarah Khan together for the first time, a casting choice that created buzz well before production even began.
Since its announcement, viewers have eagerly awaited a glimpse into the world of Sher.
The teaser delivered, but perhaps not in the way everyone expected.
Fans on social media quickly noticed striking similarities between the teaser and a key scene from the film.
In the teaser, Danish Taimoor walks into the frame with a gun.
Opposite him, Sarah Khan is seen in a vibrant ghagra choli, also holding a gun, and staring him down.
The scene makes it clear that both characters are members of opposing clans locked in deep-rooted enmity.
The visual tension and dramatic build-up closely echo a moment from Ram Leela.
During the scene, Deepika and Ranveer’s characters, also from rival families, pull guns on each other during their first encounter.
The resemblance has led to allegations that Sher has borrowed heavily from the Bollywood film.
Critics and fans have accused the makers of lacking originality.
Some pointed out that not only does the costume styling mirror Ram-Leela, but the entire tone of the standoff scene feels directly lifted.
Others argued that while the visual is similar, the story could still take a different direction.
The controversy, however, hasn’t dimmed public interest.
In fact, the comparison may have only intensified anticipation.
The chemistry between Danish Taimoor and Sarah Khan, paired with the drama’s high-stakes conflict, is promising viewers an explosive narrative.
Fans have flooded social media with reactions, ranging from praise for the teaser’s cinematic quality to disappointment over the apparent lack of creativity.
Despite the allegations, Sher continues to trend.
Viewers are curious to see if the drama will eventually distinguish itself or lean more into familiar territory.
The teaser has made one thing clear – Sher is aiming for a bold and visually striking style.
