Copyright Violation Case Against UTV And Madhur Bhandarkar Dropped

When Priyanka Chopra starrer Fashion
released at the box office, a woman
named Seema Seth filed a copyright
infringement case against Director
Madhur Bhandarkar and UTV Supremo
Ronnie Screwvala. But since both parties did not make appearances in the court,
the case was recently dismissed by the
Magistrate.

Seth recorded her grievance that the
film's story was taken out of a book
without giving the author any credit or
even informing her. The court had asked
her to produce evidence of the same
however, there was no further follow up done from her side on this. The woman
had also asked for a compensation
amount of 2.50 crores from UTV for
copyright violation, however the charges
against the film's director and producer
have been dismantled now!
