If somebody asked you what live action property features blind protagonist who suffers a personal tragedy and decides to respond by fighting crime you would obviously be thinking of Daredevil….but you would be wrong.
They’re actually describing Bollywood Film, Kaabil, but if you think that the plot does sound similar to the Netflix show, you aren’t the only one. A recent rumor has arisen that points to the streaming service entering a legal battle with the Bollywood production over the similarities.
Whilst it is easy to believe that Netflix would be looking to start a lawsuit with the Bollywood production over the similarities, a report from The Indian Express has revealed that this isn’t actually the case with no such lawsuit existing.
For those of you wondering why so many sources reported on H H a story, you can check out the trailer below and make your mind up:

Whilst the basic premise is along the same lines as the hit Marvel show, that’s all it really has. The film takes on a much more serious tone with it sharing none of the comic book aspects that fans love with Daredevil. Whether there is in fact a lawsuit going on currently remains to be seen, but if their is, I can’t help but feel petty on Marvel/Netflix’s part, at least until he dons a red suit and starts fighting Ninjas.
We’ll find out just how alike the two projects are when the film is released.
What do you think? Do you see the similarities? Do you think Netflix should sue? Let us know below!
