Court Halts Mardaani 3 Piracy Before Release
28 Jan
Summary
- Madras High Court issued an anti-piracy injunction for Mardaani 3.
- The order restrains unauthorized broadcast and online circulation.
- Yash Raj Films secured the injunction against potential piracy.
Ahead of the scheduled January 30, 2026 release, the Madras High Court has issued an ad-interim anti-piracy injunction safeguarding the copyright of Rani Mukerji's film, Mardaani 3. The order was passed on a suit filed by producer Yash Raj Films, expressing concerns over potential piracy.
Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy's interim order restrains internet service providers and cable operators from any unauthorized broadcast or dissemination of the film. The Court recognized that pre-release piracy risks irreversible injury to copyright holders and can significantly harm commercial interests once pirated content enters the public domain.
Balancing intellectual property protection with the concerns of intermediaries, the Court mandated that Yash Raj Films provide an indemnity to cover potential legitimate business losses for respondents. This legal move comes amid increasing worries about piracy affecting high-profile film releases, similar to a recent interim order for another film.
