T-Series secures injunction against India News channel
MUMBAI: Super Cassette Industries (T-Series) has got an injunction from the Delhi High Court on India News, a Hindi news channel, for using its content without procurring a valid license. The injunction bars the channel from broadcasting and telecasting T-Series content in any manner.
Says T-Series marketing, media and publicity president Vinod Bhanushali, “Like all news channels, this particular channel used to take songs from the
T-Series catalogue and insert them in related stories which they aired from time-to-time.
India News, for example, used the soundtrack of Munnabhai MBBS for any story related to Sanjay Dutt. “For this they had promised to pay up a license fee. But later, may be, they took things for granted and continued airing our content without getting a valid license from us,” says Bhanushali.
It was in November last that the authorities at T-Series finally had a word with the channel and told them of the consequences if they did not acquire a proper license from them immediately. But all that seemed to have fallen on deaf ears because they refrained from correcting themselves.
“We had no other option but to approach the Delhi High Court which, on the suit filed by us for a permanent injunction, heard the arguments at length and issued a notice to India News and also granted an interim injunction against the channel prohibiting it from using T-Series content in any matter till 21 July, the date of the next hearing,” adds Bhanushali.
India News executives were unavailable for comment.

Marico founder Harsh Mariwala’s book Harsh Realities set for film adaptation
Almighty Motion Picture taps Karan Vyas to script Marico story
MUMBAI: Almighty Motion Picture is turning its lens on India Inc., with plans to adapt Harsh Realities: The Making of Marico into a screen project. The story charts the rise of Harsh Mariwala, the chairman and founder of Marico, and is currently in early development, according to a report by Variety.
Writer Karan Vyas, known for his work on Scam 1992, Scoop and Made in India – A Titan Story, is attached to pen the screenplay. The project continues the studio’s growing interest in real-life Indian narratives that blend business with human drama.
At the heart of the story lies a defining moment in 1987, when Mariwala chose to step away from the family-run Bombay Oil Industries and strike out on his own. What followed was not just the creation of a company, but the reinvention of a legacy. Marico would go on to become a global FMCG player, with brands like Parachute, Saffola, Set Wet and Livon becoming household names, reaching nearly one in three Indians.
The source material, co-authored by Mariwala and renowned business strategist Ram Charan, offers more than a boardroom chronicle. It captures the grit behind the growth, the risks behind the rewards and the leadership lessons forged along the way.
The adaptation aims to move beyond balance sheets and brand milestones, focusing instead on the person behind the enterprise. Expect a narrative that leans into the emotional stakes of entrepreneurship, where decisions are as personal as they are professional.
Today, Marico draws about a quarter of its revenue from international markets across Asia and Africa, reflecting its steady transformation from a domestic player into a multinational force. Yet, if the makers have their way, the screen version will remind audiences that every global success story begins with a leap of faith.
With development set to begin soon, this is one business story that may just trade spreadsheets for storytelling, and profit margins for moments that linger
