Release

The film received controversy following allegations of copyright infringement. Initially barred from release, the court later allowed its theatrical screening after the defendants provided monetary security. Later in October 2024, the Additional District Court restricted the sale or transfer of the film's rights to third parties, including OTT platforms and TV channels, until the lawsuit had been resolved. The order ensures the film's intellectual property remains with LSD Productions, only permitting a theatrical release. [5]
