Delhi High Court Overturns Order in AR Rahman Copyright Case
The Delhi High Court sided with A.R. Rahman in a copyright case.
Earlier, Rahman and filmmakers were told to pay a large sum.
The court has now reversed this decision.
The case involved a song, 'Veera Raja Veera', and a claim of copying.
The court determined the original judge made a mistake, and now Rahman doesn't have to pay.
The Delhi High Court overturned an order requiring A.R. Rahman to deposit Rs 2 crore.
The case involved the song 'Veera Raja Veera' from the film 'Ponniyin Selvan 2'.
The lawsuit concerned copyright infringement of the composition 'Shiv Stuti'.
The court found that a single judge had erred in the initial ruling.
The court's ruling provides relief to AR Rahman and the film's makers.
