Cine1 Studios, a production house claiming to be one of the producers of the Ranbir Kapoor starrer film Animal has approached the Delhi High Court to stay the movie's release on Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms.
A filmmaker filed a copyright violation suit claiming that Shamshera is an imitation of his film. The Court rejected an interim relief plea after noting that father-son themes, period dramas etc. are common in Bollywood.
The OTT will launch the first virtual channel in the general entertainment channel category. It expects the new format to drive watch time on the platform.
