Orders Against Sun Network And Ntv Telugu News Channel....

noreply@blogger.com (Indian Guru) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:37:00 +0000

T-Series once again strikes successfully by acquiring interim injunction orders against Sun Network Ltd and M/s Rachana Television Pvt. Ltd. who owns a 24 hours Telugu news Channel named ‘NTV’ before the honorary Delhi high court for using it’s copyright content illegally.

T-Series takes on seriously on usage of its IPR and inform all those broadcasters who are using its copyright content to make their TV soaps/ reality shows/ etc without paying license fee or for that matter have failed to renew their existing contracts and are still using their repertoire.

While keeping a close check on all the channels, it was found that Chennai based Sun Network and Hyderabad based Telugu news channel NTV were using T-Series’ content without the necessary copyright licenses.

Despite bringing these non-permitted usages to the channels notice on various occasions and having acknowledged by their respective heads, they continued with the infringements. Even after sending a draft agreement to NTV, it did not come forward to enter into license agreement and completely denied the usage of T-Series’ copyright content. Moreover it was claimed that the material used by NTV was the work of its creative department.

After sending many legal notices to the respective bodies, finally T-Series filed suits for infringements before honorable Delhi high court and subsequent to examining the documents on record and having considered the submissions of learned counsel appearing for it, Honorable Delhi High Court ordered in CS (OS) 1742/2009 that T Series has made out a prima-facia case for the grant of an ad interim ex parte injunction whereas in another case of copyright infringement, honorable Delhi High Court ordered in CS (OS) 1459/2009 I.A.-10152/2009 that southern major SUN Network Ltd would not use the content of any work over which T-Series has copyrights and if the network still wants to carry anything on their channel over which T-Series has copyright, they would seek appropriate license. The matter could have been resolved by paying heed to T-Series’ repeated reminders but such was not the case for most channels.

Divya Khosla Kumar, Creative Director, T Series says, “We have always been a serious player in this industry and to make music work among the masses, it is important that it makes money for the music companies who invest so much on songs and song picturisations. At T-Series, it is always a no-expense spared effort. Hence, we come down strongly on pirates and those violating the copyright laws. The current matter is subjudice and hence we would not be able to comment on it.”

noreply@blogger.com (Indian Guru) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:21:00 +0000

Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni today said a retrospective of Kamal Haasan films titled 'Kamal Film Festival' would be held next year in New Delhi to celebrate the actor's golden jubilee year in film industry.

"Since the law prevents the organisors from not screening more than a specified number of films in the international film festival, we could not do so in the IFFI at Goa", she said.

In his address, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi said entertainment industry in Tamil Nadu with a long track road should become the 'epicentre at the international level' and there should be efforts to realise this goal.

He said the film studios in the State were comparable to the best in the world. 'Professionalism has become noticeable everywhere in the industry and our artistes are committed to their cause'.

Karunanidhi said DMK government has been doing its best for the growth of cinema industry and pointed out entertainment tax was reduced.

A Welfare Board for cinema industry was formed by the government and it has been proposed to establish a cinema township, he said. South India Artistes Association president R Sarathkumar, Eros International group executive A P Parigi and Walt Disney Studios senior vice-president Michael Andreen also spoke on the occasion.

Earlier, Kamal Haasan welcomed the gathering. A study on South Indian films compiled by FICCI was released by the Chief Minister and the first copy was received by Kamal on the occasion.

As much as Goa is being discussed about, Sneha’s reportedly unconventional role with negative shades has also grabbed public attention. Her role is being kept under wraps from the media eye largely except for the few snapshots of the movie where she’s sporting ultra chic costumes as opposed to her ‘homely’ image.

Goa’s director Venkat Prabhu, in an interview to a tabloid, recently disclosed that there is not a shred of truth about her role. “She will of course look different and ‘delicious’ in the movie. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the role has negative shades,” he was quoted as saying. Well, we have no issues either way, do we?

Aayirathil Oruvan - one scene cost 4 Croresssssssssssssssssssss

noreply@blogger.com (Indian Guru) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:41:00 +0000

Buzzes are that Selvaraghavan’s ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ would really land up producer Ravendran of Dream Valley Entertainment into deep trouble. Already the production cost had crossed above the line and literally the producer is wedged between critical situations and isn’t available to anyone’s call for clarifications about the film.

Now, the latest calls on air are that ADLABS has backed off from working on computer generated graphics. A particular sequence is about a forest filled with hundreds of snakes and Karthi has jumps across it. Selvaraghavan had insisted to create such a magniloquent CGs and got away starting his other project.

But then, the professionals from ADLABS have pointed out a mistake that when Karthi jumps across the snakes, he doesn’t emote to the situation. So, they have strongly admitted that unless the sequence is reshot, it wouldn’t an effective show on the screens.

Accordingly, the inner sources has let out the fact that one particular sequence cost Rs.4 Crores.

Ajith’s eyes will speak in ‘Asal’!woooooowwwwwwwwwww

noreply@blogger.com (Indian Guru) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:00:00 +0000

Our Thala is a man of few words in his real life. We were seeing him delivering punch dialogues and speaking lengthy conversations in his movies, but this time he will be almost mum!

Sources close to Ajith’s upcoming project ‘Asal’ say that the actor will have too less to talk. In fact one can jot down his dialogues in the whole film within two papers.

Yup, director Saran is a person who normally thinks different. He has used the real Ajith in 'Asal' and gave the work to his facial expressions, instead. The director has made Ajith to put across his emotions through his sharp eyes.

Apart from the fact that Ajith is man with a lot of hard work, he is one who can magnetize his fans with his eyes.

Let’s see the reaction of his fans after ‘Asal’ hits the floor…
