Netflix Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged 'Squid Game' Plagiarism

Indian filmmaker Soham Shah claims Netflix's hit series 'Squid Game' copied his 2009 film 'Luck,' seeking damages and an injunction.

Soham Shah, director of the 2009 Hindi film 'Luck,' alleges 'Squid Game' stole its main plot, characters, and themes.
Shah's lawsuit, filed in New York, seeks to stop Netflix from marketing and profiting from 'Squid Game' and related properties.
Both 'Luck' and 'Squid Game' feature indebted individuals competing in deadly games for a cash prize, with wealthy onlookers betting on the outcomes.
Netflix has denied the allegations, stating that 'Squid Game' was independently created by Hwang Dong Hyuk.
The lawsuit adds to a series of controversies surrounding 'Squid Game,' including previous legal disputes and cast-related scandals.
