Shah Rukh Khan’s Don 2 in copyright trouble


Shah Rukh Khan’s troubles aren’t over yet. After facing the quiz by ED a few days back, SRK starrer, Don 2 is in trouble now. It is the copyright infringement, according to the original makers of Don. On that term, the production house has been sent legal notice.
Don 2 is the sequel of the Amitabh Bachchan hit film Don. SRK is main male lead role in Don 2. However, as far as the sequel goes, Nariman films, the production house of Don, is not pleased with the way the sequel has been handled. But what is the reason for Nariman films to send a notice to the sequel directed by Farhan Akhtar?
Nariman films said that they had given only the rights to remake the film to Excel Entertainment. Nariman films points out that they had not given the permission to remake the film as a sequel. That’s where the violation of copyright is, the original Don producers think.
Iva Bansal and Digvijay Chopra, the two advocates appointed by Nariman films said that they will take legal action against producers of Don 2 at that High Court and criminal courts as well for relief. On the other side Ritesh Sidhwani of the Excel Entertainment said that whatever they were doing was legal and charges of Nariman Films are false and baseless.
Don 2 may be released on Christmas.
