SRK’s Next Film ‘Jawan’ Leaked? YouTube, Twitter, Others Get Takedown Orders

India: Delhi High Court has restrained several rogue websites and internet service providers from copying, recording, displaying or releasing any stills, songs, audio and video clips related to Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Jawan’ without proper licence.

The high court directed YouTube, Twitter and Reddit to immediately block and take down all infringing contents and clips referred to by production house Red Chillies Entertainments Pvt Ltd.

“The defendants, as well as all other acting on their behalf, are restrained from copying, recording, reproducing, allowing recording, transmitting, communicating or making available for distribution, duplication, display or release, exhibiting or playing in any manner, any stills, audio/ video clips, songs, recordings or other proprietary information relating to the cinematographic film ‘Jawan’ or any part thereof without a proper licence from the plaintiff, through any medium whatsoever,” Justice C Hari Shankar said.

The court’s interim order came on a plea by the production house for restraining various rogue websites and ISPs and others, who are providing platforms over which content can be uploaded on the internet, from broadcasting or airing any part of the upcoming film being produced by the plaintiff.

It was alleged that clips and stills from the film are already available on the internet over various platforms though no licence, to broadcast or transmit any part of the film has, till date, been granted by the plaintiff to any entity.
