After Ram Leela, Bhansali Productions PVT LTD moves Bombay HC to protect the rights of Bajirao Mastani

Only recently, the Bombay High Court demanded Eros Media to pay Rs. 19 lakhs to the Bhansali Productions Pvt Ltd when the latter seeked urgent ad-interim relief restrains for the Eros International Media from directly or indirectly dealing with the distribution, selling, exploiting, assigning, licensing or renewing the rights of Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela. The Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone starrer was co-produced by Bhansali Productions and Eros Media and it looks like they have reached out to the Bombay High Court to protect the rights of Bajirao Mastani, later this month.

The court has acknowledged the issues between both the production houses that go as far back as October 2019, which was also a notice issued by the Bhansali productions. The court said that there were important questions to be answered in the case and one of them was that the main relief sought against them was not parties of the arbitrary agreement, which allows the parties concerned to dissolve the case through the arbitration process. One of the two parties was not situated within the jurisdiction of the Court.

Since one of them is situated in the British Isles and the other is in Burbank, California, the court has demanded a detailed hearing over the subject to figure out if the relief can be offered to both the parties under the IPC Section 9 against them. The case is set to be heard by the Bombay High Court tomorrow, June 30.

Clash of the Dawoods: Farhan Akhtar versus Ram Gopal Varma

Two leading filmmakers are rushing to the streaming platform with bio-series on Dawood Ibrahim. While Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's Excel Entertainment’s series is based on investigative journalist author Hussain’s Dongri To Dubai , Ram Gopal’s Varma’s D Company is based entirely on his own research. Apparently, Excel’s excursion to Dawood’s territory began shooting before the pandemic. No information is available on its progress. I asked the author Hussain Zaidi and he said he had no idea of the progress on the project. Says Ram Gopal Varma, “I honestly don’t know what they are making. I read Dongri To Dubai which is very anecdotal in nature, like piecing together a number of crime columns published in newspapers. Also the subject matter of my series D Company is in the public domain. It’s the understanding and interpretation which will differ. Anyway may the best man win.” Incidentally these are not the only cinematic efforts on Dawood. Nikhil Advani made D Day whe...

She adds, “Community celebrations will come back in a big way and for Indians going to a theatre to watch a movie with friends and family is a huge thing. That’s going to make a big comeback. They would want to come bac...
