An unusual copyright infringement case surrounding a replica of the Taj Mahal in Bangladesh is unlikely to proceed.
The imitation Taj Mahal is the brainchild of businessman and film producer Ahsunullah Moni, who is having the replica built in Sonargaon, a suburban area 30 kilometres outside Dhaka. Construction of the close but not exact replica commenced in 2003 and is due for completion in March this year.
“Taj Mahal Bangladesh” has cost approximately US$111 million and was opened to the public in early December. An inauguration ceremony is planned for 26 March, which is Bangladesh’s annual independence day.
