MUMBAI: Super Cassettes Industries Ltd. (T-Series), CMD, Bhushan Kumar has responded to director Ram Gopal Varma’s public notice in kind by stating that RGV allegations of “breach of various provisions and industry norms by Super Cassettes” are completely false and incorrect as T-Series has fulfilled all the obligations as per the terms and conditions of the Memorandum Of Understanding (dated 13 June 2006) between Ram Gopal Varma Films Pvt. Ltd. and Super Cassettes Industries Ltd. (T-Series). The MOU relating to the audio and video rights of fourteen films is valid, subsisting and binding and is in full force and T-Series is legally entitled to exploit the audio and video copyright of all the aforesaid 14 films.
RGV had categorically stated that the audio and video copyright of Sarkar Raj would be a part of the deal after which T-Series entered into the agreement. At this late stage, if RGV claims Sarkar Raj to be an independent film, it amounts to fraud and cheating and T-Series has the right to initiate legal proceedings against him.
Bhushan Kumar said, “With respect to Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, T-Series has spent huge sums in the publicity of the film for and on behalf of RGV against which RGV has given adjustment letters against the Video Rights. In fact in the MOU, RGV has clearly stated that the World Audio rights and India Video copyright of RGV Ki Aag and Sarkar Raj and the other films shall irrevocably be with T-Series only.”
