As per a report in DNA, Cine1 Studios has filed a case against T-Series in Delhi High Court claiming that the production house hasn’t paid its share in Animal’s intellectual property rights. The complainant has reportedly argued that the production houses entered into a contract under which Cine1 Studios had a 35 percent profit share, also claiming that it is entitled a 35 percent share through intellectual property rights. Stating that there has been a breach in the Acquisition Agreement signed, Cine1 Studios has demanded that Animal should not be released on Netflix. The report has Senior Advocate Sandeep Sethi appearing for Cine1 saying, “They (T-Series) have been collecting all the money but I have not been paid a single penny… I have a long relationship with them but they do not respect the agreement. I had the regard for the relationship and the sanctity of the contract, therefore, I did not rush to court.” Also Read – Animal: Ranbir Kapoor’s Wake Up Sid co-star Konkona Sensharma expresses displeasure against his film; here’s what she has to say
