A Jaipur court on Tuesday ordered the filing of a criminal case of copyright violation against Rakhi Sawant, Ravi Kissan
and four others associated with the reality show Rakhi Ka Swayamvar, putting a big question mark on the live wedding
telecast on August 2.
But Samir Nair CEO of NDTV Imagine seems unperturbed. "We're telecasting the marriage deferred- live (minutes after
actual shooting) and we don't anticipate any trouble.
This guy from Jaipur (Gaurav Tiwari) filed a case against
us in a district court. They passed an order against him. Then he moved to the High Court. His case was dismissed from
there. Now he has filed a criminal case against us.
Our legal team is looking into it as we speak. Strange that
the case has gone from civil to criminal. This guy runs a portal and claims he owns the word swayamvar. It's like me
claiming I own the word Ramayan or Mahabharat. There's shadi-com. So we can't do soap with the word shaadi?"
Will Rakhi Ka Swayamvar be stayed?
