Case against RGV by T-Series stayed till July
ALLAHABAD/MUMBAI: The criminal case against filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma by music major T-Series in Noida is stayed on Thrusday by the Allahabad High Court till 1 July.
The stay had come on an application by the filmmaker seeking further stay as the Court’s interim stay order for five days just before Holi was expiring.
The filmmaker has sought quashing of the First Information Report (FIR) in view of the fact that an FIR filed by him against the music major is pending in Mumbai.
Meanwhile, T-Series chief Bhushan Kumar has been given two days by the Enforcement wing in Mumbai to submit the original documents in the case filed by the filmmaker.
Earlier, T-Series had filed a cross-case against Varma by filing an FIR against him in Noida, accusing him of fraud and criminal breach of trust, the latest in a long chain of the attrition that both have been involved in for the last few months.
The music company claimed that Varma had signed a deal for handing over music distribution rights of 14 feature films to be made by him, only four of which – Aag, Shiva, Nishabd and Darwaza Bandh Rakho – had been delivered so far.
Last month, Varma had filed a case of cheating and forgery in Mumbai against the music company claiming that he had been duped of over Rs 4.6 million.
The FIR had been filed against Kumar with the Versova police station, saying that he had executed terms of a music distribution rights contract signed between him and T-Series by giving the rights for four of his films to T-Series.
The complaint had been registered under Sections 420, 465, 467, 468, 471 r/w 120(B) of IPC.

Dhurandhar returns to theatres worldwide on March 13 ahead of Dhurandhar The Revenge release
Jio Studios re-releases blockbuster across 500 screens globally before sequel
MUMBAI: The spy saga of Dhurandhar is gearing up for a big-screen encore before its next chapter arrives.
Ahead of the release of Dhurandhar The Revenge on March 19, Jio Studios and B62 Studios are bringing the original Dhurandhar back to cinemas worldwide in a rare international theatrical re-release.
The global blockbuster is returning across nearly 500 screens, including around 250 in India from March 12 and another 250 overseas beginning March 13.
For fans of the franchise, the move offers a chance to revisit the film that ignited the high-octane spy-action universe just days before the sequel lands in theatres. It also sets up a rare back-to-back big-screen experience, allowing audiences to relive the original before diving straight into the next chapter.
While re-releases of popular films are occasionally seen in India, international re-runs of Hindi films remain uncommon. The scale of the rollout reflects the growing global appetite for the franchise.
In North America alone, Dhurandhar will return to theatres across nearly 185 screens, highlighting the strong anticipation surrounding the upcoming sequel.
The excitement is set to build further with special Wednesday premiere shows of Dhurandhar The Revenge scheduled across the US and Canada on March 18, a day ahead of its global release. Many of these premieres will be hosted on premium large format screens, featuring wall-to-wall displays, immersive sound systems such as Dolby Atmos, enhanced projection and luxury seating.
These formats are typically reserved for major Hollywood event films, and early bookings suggest strong demand with several shows already sold out.
The recently released trailer of Dhurandhar The Revenge has also sparked buzz among exhibitors and trade circles, with expectations running high for the film’s international performance.
Dhurandhar The Revenge is written, directed and produced by Aditya Dhar. The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar.
Jio Studios presents a B62 Studios production, an Aditya Dhar film.
The spy-action thriller will release worldwide on March 19, 2026, in five languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
The film arrives in theatres globally on the occasion of Gudi Padwa and Ugadi, just ahead of Eid, setting the stage for a festive box office run.
