EXCLUSIVE: Yash Raj Films and Netflix Challenge Stay Order on Junaid Khan

Yash Raj Films (YRF) and Netflix have filed an urgent petition challenging a stay order [legal action, stay order, petition] issued by the Bombay High Court against the release of their upcoming film, Jawan, starring Shah Rukh Khan. The stay order, granted by Justice Gautam Patel on August 10th, was obtained by Junaid Khan, who accused the makers of Jawan of copyright infringement [copyright infringement, Junaid Khan, Jawan] regarding his unreleased film, The Blue Fox.

Khan claimed that the Jawan trailer featured a scene [trailer, scene, plagiarism] that was strikingly similar to a key scene in The Blue Fox. He alleged that this scene, involving a “masked man” [masked man, similar scene, key scene], was plagiarized from his film.

In their petition, YRF and Netflix argued that the stay order was “unjustified” and “premature” [petition, stay order, premature]. They maintain that the Jawan scene is entirely original and bears no resemblance to the one alleged by Khan. They are seeking an immediate hearing and the lifting of the stay order [hearing, lifting stay order], arguing that the delay in the film’s release is causing significant financial losses.

This legal battle has intensified the anticipation [legal battle, anticipation, release date] surrounding Jawan, which is slated to release on September 7th. The outcome of this petition will determine whether the film will be released as planned or face further delays.
