The Delhi High Court has referred Trimurti Films and B62 Studios to mediation in a copyright dispute over the song Rang De Lal (Oye Oye) from Dhurandhar 2.
The OTT release date for Dhurandhar 2 was also discussed in court, with the judge observing that the legal feud appeared to be a financial matter.
Trimurti Films had sued Aditya Dhar's B62 Studios, alleging that Rang De Lal (Oye Oye) uses unauthorised music from Tirchhi Topiwale, a song from the 1989 film Tridev.
The rights to the song, composed by Kalyan Ji-Anand Ji and with lyrics by Anand Bakshi, are with Trimurti Films, who alleged that the producers of Dhurandhar 2 used the song without permission.
The Dhurandhar films are written, directed, and produced by Aditya Dhar, along with Lokesh Dhar and Jyoti Deshpande, through B62 Studios and Jio Studios.
The film stars Ranveer Singh, Sara Arjun, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Rakesh Bedi, Danish Pandor, Gaurav Gera, and others.
Dhurandhar was released in December last year and collected over ₹1300 crore worldwide, while Dhurandhar 2 has made over ₹1600 crore since its March 19 release.
