Delhi HC stays order against AR Rahman in copyright row

Send Push
NEW DELHI: Delhi HC stayed Tuesday an interim copyright-case order against composer AR Rahman and makers of Ponniyin Selvan 2 over a song in the 2023 Tamil film.

A bench of Justices C Hari Shankar and Ajay Digpaul, however, directed Rahman and the makers of the film to deposit Rs 2 crore with the HC registry within 10 days, as directed by the single judge. Rahman had appealed against the single judge's order and sought a stay.

The single judge had in its interim order last month also ordered insertion of a slide in the film on all OTT platforms to give due credit to Junior Dagar Brothers-Late Ustad N Faiyazuddin Dagar and Late Ustad Zahiruddin Dagar-for the composition.

The division bench stayed this direction too, until it examined Rahman's appeal on May 23.
