Delhi HC allows movie ‘Shamshera’ to be released on OTT platform

The Delhi High Court allowed the makers of ‘Shamshera’ to release the movie on an over-the-top (OTT) platform on Friday after they deposit Rs 1 crore with the court registry.

A man called Bikramjeet Singh Bhullar alleged in a court petition that the movie, which features actors Ranbir Kapoor and Vaani Kapoor, infringed the copyright of his literary work ‘Kabu na chhadein khet’.

Justice Jyoti Singh on Thursday asked Yash Raj Films, the movie’s producer, to deposit Rs 1 crore with the registry. If the amount is not deposited by August 22, the film will be taken off the OTT platform from the next day.
