New Delhi: Delhi High Court has refused to stay the release of director Ram Gopal Varma's film Nishabd.
The Court said that the petitioner should have approached it earlier if it wanted to stop the screening of the Amitabh Bachchan starrer.
The Court had issued a notice to Varma's RGV Film Factory for copyright infringement regarding his soon to be released film, Nishabd.
Bengali filmmaker Jahar Kanungo had sought direction of the Court to stop the release of the film. He had claimed that he retains the copyright to the title Nishabd for 10 years since his Bengali film of the same title released in 2005.
Kanungo’s film has received the best feature film award at Osian's Cinefan Festival Asian Film in July 2005, second prize at International Film Festival, Bangladesh in March 2006 and 'Coup De Coeur Guimet Award' at Vesoul International Festival of Asian Award.
The film was produced with financial aid under the scheme 'Fonds Sud Cinema' from the French government released in November 2002.
