Writer-director Sooni Taraporevala has called out the production designer for blatantly copying the set from her 2020 Netflix film, Yeh Ballet.

Taraporevala is further shocked by the ad’s production designer Rupin Suchak’s admission on social media that the director ‘asked him to make it that way’. “They saw Yeh Ballet and decided to plagiarise our set down to the last detail. Would Levi’s and the director ever think of doing it in the West without permission, and passing it off as their own creative work? Copycat culture in India needs to be called out and cancelled,” Taraporevala further wrote.
