Madras High Court order on Dhurandhar 2 piracy
The court issued an order to internet service providers and cable TV operators to stop illegally streaming or telecasting the film until April 15, as reported by Bar and Bench.
Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy passed the order on applications filed by Reliance Industries Limited, the producer of the movie and its media division Jio Studios, raising concerns over the film's unauthorised online circulation or broadcast.
The producers argued that piracy of the film could lead to substantial financial losses.

Taking these into consideration, the Court directed Reliance to provide indemnity to affected parties.
The court granted an ad interim injunction restraining the respondents from broadcasting or transmitting the film unlawfully until April 15.
