Kites now in copyright trap

MUMBAI: Rakesh Roshan‘s Kites has fallen into the copyright trap.

The Bihar City Civil Court has ordered a stay on the release of the film till Rakesh Roshan and officials of Happy Hours Entertainment appear before the court on 24 May. 

The order follows a case filed by Laxmi Prasad of Sunbeam Holdings alleging non-receipt of amount due to them for selling the copy right of the action scenes amounting to approximately Rs 100 million to which Rakesh Roshan had apparently agreed to pay half the sum.

This means that the film, scheduled to release on 21 May, may get delayed.
