The Delhi High Court has issued a directive to the filmmakers of the movie Jailer to ensure that from September 1 none of the theaters exhibit the jersey of the IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), as worn by a contract killer in one of the scenes in the film. Justice Prathiba M Singh, who was hearing a suit filed by the IPL team, Royal Challengers Sports Private Limited, against the filmmakers for using the team's jersey in a denigratory manner, said that the Rajnikanth starrer's release on television, satellite, or any OTT (Over-The-Top) platform shall have an altered version of the film prior to its release.

It is alleged that the contract killer in the film wearing the jersey reportedly makes derogatory and misogynistic statements about a woman. The IPL team argued that the negative depiction using their jersey without permission could damage their brand image and equity.

AR Rahman is one of the most revered music composers in the world, having won major international attention--including the Academy Award--for his work over the years. In an interview with Forbes, AR Rahman shared how he got pigeonholed despite his international work in 127 Hours, Million Dollar Arm and Pele among others.

AR Rahman talked about his directorial debut, Le Musk and how he wanted to experiment with his creative process and new technology. In the interview with Forbes, Rahman said, “As an Indian composer, winning an Oscar and all that stuff, there is a pigeonhole you are put into. ‘Oh Indian stuff, let’s go to AR!’ Even though I have done 127 Hours, Pele and other stuff but still the urge… There’s nothing bad with that. I am doing a lot of Indian movies. I love doing Indian movies. I am proud. But I also love to do something that is completely unrelated to India, as a creative expression. To get those is very difficult in Hollywood, all the places are already taken.”
