11 months ago0

Actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut has made headlines again, this time for selling her bungalow in Mumbai’s upscale Bandra area. The sale comes at a time when her much-anticipated film Emergency is facing delays due to complications with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). According to a report in Hindustan Times, Kangana sold her bungalow, located in the Pali Hill area of Bandra, for Rs 32 crores. The sale was finalised on September 5, 2024.

Details of the Property Sale
Kangana had purchased the property in September 2017 for Rs 20 crores. The bungalow, covering a built-up area of 3,075 square feet, also includes a parking space of 565 square feet. The buyer, Shweta Bathija, is a partner at Kamalini Holdings, a company based in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The transaction involved a hefty stamp duty of Rs 1.92 crores and a registration fee of Rs 30,000, as per property registration documents accessed by Zapkey.

Kangana is yet to publicly comment on the sale of the bungalow.

Having said that, it is worth mentioning here that Kangana’s bungalow has been a topic of controversy before. In 2020, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) demolished portions of her Bandra property, citing illegal construction. Kangana had claimed that this action was politically motivated due to her ongoing public feud with the Shiv Sena-led Maharashtra government at the time.

Coming to the professional front, as mentioned above, she is currently gearing up for film Emergency. The film, which was initially slated for release on September 6, has faced criticism from several Sikh organisations and delays in certification from the CBFC. While the film has recently received a UA certificate, the board has not handed over the same to the makers due to legal issues.

Netflix faces legal action as ANI alleges copyright infringement in the visuals used in IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack

11 months ago0

Anubhav Sinha’s series IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack, starring Vijay Varma, Dia Mirza, and Naseeruddin Shah, has found itself embroiled in a legal dispute. News agency ANI has filed a lawsuit against Netflix and the show’s creators for allegedly using their archival footage without permission in four episodes. The series revolves around the 1999 hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight IC 814.

According to a report by Bar and Bench, “ANI sues Netflix and makers of IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack for alleged infringement of copyright and trademark. ANI says the show uses its footages showing the then PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee, General Pervez Musharraf, and terrorist Masood Azhar without a licence.” The agency has demanded the removal of these episodes from the streaming platform.
Delhi High Court Issues Notice to Netflix
Following the lawsuit, the Delhi High Court has issued a notice to Netflix and the other producers involved in the series. The court has requested a response from the defendants, with a hearing scheduled for Friday.

Sidhant Kumar, counsel for ANI, elaborated on the allegations, stating, “They have used copyright archival footage of ANI without licence. They have also used the ANI trademark. Since the series has come into such criticism, our trademark and brand name are being tarnished.”
Controversy Surrounding IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack
This is not the first time IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack has stirred controversy. Earlier, the series faced backlash for using ‘Hindu’ code names for the terrorists involved in the real-life hijacking. In the show, the terrorists were referred to by names like ‘Bhola’ and ‘Shankar,’ while their real names were Ibrahim Athar, Shahid Akhtar Sayed, Sunny, Ahmad Qazi, Zahoor Mistry, and Shakir. It was later learnt that the nicknames used by a couple of terrorists was indeed ‘Bhola’ and ‘Shankar’ during the actual flight hijack.

In response to the controversy, Netflix has since added a disclaimer to the series, specifying the real names of the hijackers alongside the fictional code names used in the show.
