Overview
- Kumar told the Bombay High Court he will not make further defamatory statements about director Aditya Dhar, and the judge recorded the undertaking.
- The court closed Dhar’s interim plea after noting the commitment, and it did not order the public apology Dhar’s lawyer sought for earlier remarks.
- Kumar maintains Dhar’s film drew from his registered script titled D Saheb, and he says he will now pursue his claim through legal channels instead of media statements.
- Separately, the Karnataka High Court rejected Kumar’s bid to cancel the film’s censor certificate, according to Hindustan Times, finding no merit in that petition.
- An earlier April 8 order had already restrained fresh public allegations, and the dispute continues as the Ranveer Singh-led Dhurandhar: The Revenge remains a box-office success, raising the reputational stakes for both sides.
