Aanand L Rai Responds to Eros' Rs 84 Crore Lawsuit: "These Are Part of Life"

  • Filmmaker Aanand L Rai is facing an Rs 84 crore commercial intellectual property lawsuit from Eros International Media Ltd.
  • Eros alleges trademark and copyright infringement, claiming Rai promoted his film *Tere Ishk Mein* as a "spiritual sequel" to *Raanjhanaa* without permission.
  • Rai, in an interview with NDTV, downplayed the lawsuit, stating, "These are part of life" and that lawyers would handle the matter.
  • The lawsuit, filed in the Bombay High Court, names Rai, his company Colour Yellow Media Entertainment LLP, T-Series, Himanshu Sharma, and Netflix as defendants.
  • Eros cited the use of hashtags like ‘World Of Raanjhanaa’ in *Tere Ishk Mein* promotions and continued associations despite a cease-and-desist notice.

Why It Matters: Aanand L Rai remains unfazed by Eros' Rs 84 crore lawsuit, calling it a normal part of business.
