Films should not be prevented from release at the eleventh hour, the Bombay High Court said while refusing to stay the release of Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Dream Girl 2.
The movie is slated for release on Friday (August 25).
A single bench of Justice Riyaz Chagla on August 22 heard a suit filed by one Ashim Bagchi who claimed the story of the film was similar to a script he had registered with the Film Screen Writers Association in May 2007.
Bagchi sought a stay on the release of the film pending hearing of his suit.
Justice Chagla, however, noted the suit and application seeking injunction order on the film’s release was filed only on August 18 and the respondents have not had an opportunity to respond to it.
“It is well settled that at the eleventh hour films should not be prevented from their release’. (PTI)
