India, April 17 -- The Delhi High Court on Wednesday recorded an undertaking from filmmaker Rajiv Rai to refrain from making public comments on his dispute with the makers of Dhurandhar The Revenge, after he called them "thieves" in media interactions. The court also noted that the matter, involving Rai's Trimurti Films and Aditya Dhar's B62 Studios, had already been referred to mediation last week. The court observed that Rai had made multiple public statements on the merits of the case, underlining that restraint is expected when issues are sub judice. It stressed that public commentary could escalate the dispute outside the courtroom, reported Bar and Bench. Appearing for Super Cassettes, the company that holds Dhurandhar's audio rights, counsel submitted, "They are calling us thieves while the very issue is before this Court for consideration." The label also argued that such remarks were damaging to a film currently running in theatres and amounted to building a parallel narrative alongside court proceedings. However, Rai's counsel said the makers should be able to handle criticism: "They get praise every day for being a box office hit. Equally, two people criticising them is not going to bring down heavens. They added that Rai was willing to refrain from making further comments and resolve the matter through mediation. Rai has alleged that the song Tirchi Topiwale (Tridev, 1989) was used without permission in Rang De Lal (Oye Oye), naming Aditya Dhar and Lokesh Dhar's B62 Studios, Jyothi Deshpande's Jio Studios, and Super Cassettes in the case.htc...
