The Delhi High Court expressed its dissatisfaction with filmmaker Rajeev Rai for making public statements against Aditya Dhar's production house and T-Series during an ongoing copyright infringement case concerning the song 'Rang De Lal – Oye Oye' from the film Dhurandhar 2. The court had previously referred the parties to mediation on April 9 and required them to appear before a mediator on April 22. Rai's statements, which included calling the opposing parties 'thieves,' were deemed inappropriate by Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, who emphasized the need for restraint in public commentary while legal proceedings are active. The court noted that such comments could escalate the dispute and undermine the sanctity of the judicial process. In response to the court's concerns, Rai's counsel committed to avoiding further public comments until the next hearing on May 6, when the court will review Trimurti Films' application for interim relief.
