Pawan-Trivikram Film Copy Of 'Partner'?

'Partner' is the Hindi film that's released a couple of days ago. It is said that the film is a direct inspiration from Hollywood film 'Hitch' that was released in 2005 with Will Smith in lead role. That was directed by Andy Tennant. The Hindi version 'Partner' is directed by David Dhawan and is starred by Salman Khan in lead role that plays a love doctor.

If we can remember, a few months ago, there was a gossip that Pawan Kalyan was playing the role of Love Doctor in the film that is being made in the direction of Trivikram Srinivas. Then the people said that it is going to be an inspiration from 'Hitch'. If that is the case, the film 'Partner' is already released and got above average feedback everywhere.
