Why did ZNMD team boycotts Colors Screen Awards?

At the 18th Annual Colors Screen Awards on Saturday, ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ shared the Best Film award with ‘The Dirty Picture’. However, the entire ZNMD team barring Katrina Kaif, boycotted the Award function. Reason: One of the jury members, Sanjay Gupta comments on the flick being a copy.

Says a source close to the Akhtars, “They stayed away after they heard of this ridiculous scheme to keep two filmmakers and their teams happy by putting them both up for Best Picture.”

The comment coming from Sanjay Gupta has particularly hurt the Akhtars.

Says the source, “The guy has made his career out of filching foreign DVDs. And he accuses Zoya of copying some film that no one has heard of!”

After all this, the relations between Farhan Akhtar and Sanjay Gupta have definitely gone sour.
