Delhi High Court orders YouTube, Google, Twitter, Reddit to take down leaked videos of Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film Jawan

Jawan leaked videos: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is all set to release Jawan in June. Helmed by Atlee, Jawaan  is one of the most anticipated films of 2023. Recently, the actor was seen shooting for the film in Mumbai and soon internet was flooded with leaked videos. The leaked videos were extensively shared too with fans eagerly waiting for the film.

However, on Tuesday, the Delhi High Court ordered social media platforms to take down the leaked content of Jawan and stop their circulation as well.

Red Chillies files suit

According to reports, Shah Rukh Khan’s production house Red Chillies Entertainment Private Limited, had filed a suit of copyright infringement in the matter. On April 25, Justice C Hari Shankar ordered platforms like YouTube, Google, Twitter and Reddit to remove the viral videos leaked from the sets of Jawan. The court also asked the Internet service providers to block access to the websites displaying or allowing downloading of copyrighted content of Jawan.

The production house told the court that two clips of Jawan were leaked on social media. One video featured the Pathaan actor shooting for a fight scene while the second one showed him and Nayanthara in a dance sequence.

Clear violation of copyright

According to Bar And Bench, a part of the suit read that the leaked clips are a clear violation of copyright/intellectual property rights, causing damage and loss to the film. It also said that the leaked video clips together give away the look of the actors as well as the music, both of which are typically disclosed at strategic points in time as part of the carefully curated marketing strategy of a film.

Jawan is first collaboration between Shah Rukh and Atlee. The makers released the first look of the film last year and fans have been excited ever since.

The film also features Nayanthara, Sanya Malhotra and Sunil Grover. Reportedly, Deepika Padukone will also be seen in a special appearance. The film is slated to release in theatres on June 2.
