New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Thursday refused to grant any interim relief to Hollywood filmmaker John Hart Jr seeking to stay the release of the film "The White Tiger" on over the top (OTT) platform Netflix.
In a hearing that took place late evening, a single-judge bench of Justice C Hari Shankar asked defendants including the film producer and Netflix to keep detailed accounts of earnings from the film.
In case the plaintiffs succeeded later in their suits then it would be possible to re-compensate them, the court said.
The court was hearing a suit filed by plaintiff Hart and Sonia Mudbhatkal.
Appearing for Hart, advocate Kapil Sankhla told the court that Hart had won the right to make a movie adaptation of the book "The White Tiger" in March 2009 and Mudbhatkal had contacted Hart to launch her production career with the book.
