The makers of ‘Ramayana: Part 1’, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash, have warned of strict legal action against those recording the film in cinemas and sharing its videos on social media. In a legal notice issued on the film’s official social media account, viewers have been asked to refrain from recording, uploading or circulating scenes from the film without permission. Those who have already posted such videos have been appealed to remove them immediately.
In their notice, the makers cited the Bombay High Court orders of November 2 and 6, 2026. According to them, the court has restrained all unknown and known persons from recording, uploading, sharing or otherwise circulating the film or any part of it without permission.
Action possible over copyright infringement
The notice makes it clear that unauthorised recording and circulation of the film amounts to copyright infringement. Action may be taken under the Copyright Act, 1957, the Cinematograph Act, 1952, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and the Information Technology Act, 2000. The makers have also described it as a matter of contempt of court.
The team has warned that details of those violating the rules will be shared with the relevant authorities and digital platforms. Criminal, civil and contempt of court proceedings may be initiated against such persons without any further notice.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film was released in cinemas on November 5. It features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Mata Sita and Yash as Ravana.
