Kangana Ranaut and T-Series in Legal Battle over I Love New Year

T-Series is forced to bear the brunt of actress Kangana Ranaut as she has slapped a legal notice to block the release of her much-delayed film I Love New Year. Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru directorial stars Sunny Deol and Kangana Ranaut in the lead roles. Defending his side, T-Series owner Bhushan Kumar said that the rights of this flick were sold more than 18 months ago.

Kangana Ranaut’s lawyer was quoted as saying, “The producer ought to realise that. By belatedly releasing an abandoned film, they would willfully hamper the name and image of my client (Kangana), which is morally and ethically wrong. In my notice, I have asked them to stop the release of the said film, as was verbally assured to my client on numerous occasions”.

To this notice, Bhushan Kumar has replied, “I think the notice is baseless. As we (T-Series) are not releasing the film, I can’t stop it (release). We had sold the film to Wave Cinemas one-and-half-years back… Even before ‘Queen’ was released. Now they are releasing the film”. Earlier, February 2013 was finalised as the release date of I Love New Year. The release was later postponed several times but it has failed to hit the theatres.
