Kangana Ranaut moves High Court in Didda copyright case

An FIR was registered against Ranaut and her brother by the Mumbai Police for alleged copyright violation and cheating in connection with a film.

Actor Kangana Ranaut and her brother Akshat Deep Ranaut moved the Bombay High Court challenging an order directing an FIR against them by Mumbai Police for alleged copyright violation and cheating in connection with a film. A Division Bench of Justices S.S. Shinde and G.A. Sanap was hearing a petition filed by the duo to quash the order passed by the magistrate directing the Mumbai Police to register an FIR. Advocate Rizwan Siddiquee, appearing for them, said, “The FIR was filed by virtue of an announcement made. There was no work which infringed copyright. The whole FIR is lodged on a false case. Copyright infringement can be there only when there is comparative work. The petitioners have not made any work till now. She [Kangana] had only announced on her social media that she was planning to make a movie on Queen Didda.”
