Netflix is set to stream the Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal this month, which follows a resolved dispute between co-producers CINE 1 Studios Private Limited and T series.
They had a legal tangle over alleged contractual breaches. However, both parties informed the Delhi High Court about their agreement and their understanding cleared the path for the film’s OTT release.
CINE 1 Studios had sought to delay the OTT launch. They claimed T series, also known as Super Cassettes Industries Private Limited, breached the contract. The agreement stated equal ownership and certain rights. T series allegedly ignored these terms. The dispute involved unauthorized movie release, spending on production, promotion, and lack of consultation.
