Bollywood Baadshah Shahrukh Khan, who is now heading towards Don 2 that will be released next month, is facing some legal problems. The makers of original Don, starring Amitabh Bachchan have slapped a legal notice at the producers and are dragging Excel Entertainment, Red Chillies and Reliance Entertainment over copyright issue.
“We had given remaking rights only for the film Don – The chase begins again in 2005. But the rights for Don 2 are yet in our possession, therefore we have raised our objection upon the infringement on our copyright, through our solicitors Film India Corporate Legam Law Firm,” a source said to Daily Bhaskar.
If we remember Shahrukh's last movie Ra.One, it faced the same issue. TV producer Yash Patnaik had moved the court claiming that much-anticipated sci-fi film Ra.One was conceptualised by him. The script writer alleged that Ra.One producers had copied his idea of an Indian superhero and thus violated the copyright act.
