The Delhi High Court has ordered Paramvah Studios, the production house of Kannada actor-filmmaker Rakshit Shetty, to pay ₹25 lakh to MRT Music for the unauthorised use of two songs in his Kannada film ‘Bachelor Party’.
The amount includes ₹20 lakh towards the licence fee for the songs “Nyaya Ellide” and “Omme Ninnanu”, which had already been deposited during the proceedings, and an additional ₹5 lakh imposed as exemplary costs for non-compliance with an earlier court order.
