SC refuses to stall the release of Rajinikanth's 'Kaala'
The Supreme Court today refused to stall the release of Rajinikanth-starrer 'Kaala' which is scheduled to hit theatres tomorrow. A vacation bench comprising Justices AK Goel and Ashok Bhushan refused to entertain a plea by KS Rajashekaran, who sought an injunction against the film's release. "Everybody is waiting for the film to be released," the bench told the counsel appearing for the petitioner.
Petitioner claimed story scenes have his copyright-protected work
The petitioner has claimed that his copyright-protected work related to story scenes and songs were used by the producer of the "Kaala" movie without prior permission. The petitioner has approached the apex court against the May 16 order of the Madras High Court which has posted his plea against the release of the Rajinikanth-starrer for hearing on June 16.
