Filmmaker Halts Defamation Amidst Legal Battle
30 Apr
Summary
- Filmmaker agrees to stop making defamatory statements.
- Court records undertaking, disposing of interim application.
- Dhurandhar sequel remains a box office success despite dispute.
Filmmaker Santosh Kumar RS has pledged to refrain from making further defamatory statements against director Aditya Dhar, as informed to the Bombay High Court. Kumar's legal counsel indicated that his client will now pursue a legal resolution instead of public pronouncements. The court officially recorded this undertaking, formally disposing of an interim application. It was emphasized that no further defamatory remarks should be made while the case is pending.
The legal dispute originated from Kumar's claim that the film Dhurandhar was based on his registered script. Director Aditya Dhar refuted these allegations, approaching the court to label the claims as baseless and damaging to his reputation. The court had previously issued an interim order restraining Kumar from repeating such statements.
Despite the legal friction, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, the sequel to the 2025 film, has achieved strong box office performance and continues to garner attention.
