'Rangoon' has just released and the makers of the film have landed in a legal trouble. The character of Miss Julia played by Kangana Ranaut is claimed to be a copied from Mary Evans or Fearless Nadia, the stunt actor in 1930s and 40s.

A production house has claimed the copyright issue against the makers of 'Rangoon' and denying all the allegations a member from the team said, "based on independent research...where we discovered that in the year 1930s-40s numerous films were made by various production houses where female protagonist was a stunt woman, who would wear western clothes, would carry a weapon like a sword, pistol or whip and that 'Nadia' was just one of those several stunt actresses which featured in multiple films projecting empowered and strong women."

"The claim set up in favour of the late JBH Wadia is not only erroneous but incorrectly claims 'proprietary rights' over several 'features' which were not only common but which due to their use as part of the trend virtually are stock features used commonly by all film producers during the period of the 1930s to the late 40s," he added.
