Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, also renowned for making irrational comments, is again in hot waters.
The superstar along with her brother Akshat, her sister Rangoli Chandel and a man identified as Kamal Kumar Jain are accused of allegedly announcing a films name without the author’s permission.
an FIR has been registered against Kangma and others at the Khar police station in Mumbai, by author Ashish Kaul.
Ashish has blamed them for allegedly disclosing a film based on his book without his approval.
As per the FIR, Kaul has exclusive copyrights over the storyline of the warrior princess Didda.
This is the subject of both his book titled Dida, the Warrior Queen of Kashmir and Ranaut’s professed film.
The police disclosed that Kaul reached the Queen star in September 2020 through an email with passages of his book and was disgusted when the Kangna declared openly a project based on Didda without his consent.
“The description of Didda as identified by Kangana Ranaut to promote her film is identical to what is set out in my book,” Kaul notified Indian media. After this exchange, Kaul sent Bollywood actress a legal notice.
She allegedly reacted to the claim that her film is not based on the author’s book.
Kaul furthermore pursued legal aid and reached the Bandra magistrate, requesting the registration of an FIR on his behalf against a Bollywood actress under section 156 (3) of the Indian Code of Criminal Procedures.
“Based on a court order [the police] has registered an FIR under sections 406, 415, 418, 120 (b) and 34 [of the Indian Code of Criminal Procedures] read with sections 51, 63, and 63 A of the [Indian] Copyright Act of 1957 against the four accused,” indicated Khar police senior police inspector.
The author has observed suspicions not only regarding the immoral nature of copyright violation but the sudden financial damage he may come face to face with if the film is allowed to be produced.
Kaul added that Ranaut had announced the film, he had been in discussions with many high-profile producers and Bollywood big-wigs about taking his book to the silver screen.
Meanwhile, the scandalous star’s legal lawyer, advocate Rizwan Siddique, commented that he was unable to get into the facts of the matter at this time.
He said, “I shall obtain a copy of the entire proceedings from the court and then I shall give a detailed statement. At this juncture, I cannot comment without perusing the complaint in detail.”
