No more RCB jersey in Jailer, Delhi HC issues order filmmakers for removal

The Delhi High Court has ordered the filmmakers of the movie ‘Jailer’ to change scenes where a shooter wore a Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Jersey.

“The Defendants as also all parties acting for or on their behalf including their distribution network shall be bound by the above terms and conditions. With effect from 1st September, 2023, in the theatrical depiction of the film Jailer the RCB team jersey shall stand edited/altered. The Defendants shall ensure that after 1st September, 2023, none of the theatres would exhibit the RCB jersey in any form whatsoever. Insofar as television, satellite or any OTT platform is concerned, prior to the release thereof, the altered version of the film shall be broadcasted/telecasted,” the Court ordered.

The IPL-based side filed a complaint to the court and raised objections to the use of the RCB Jersey in scenes that have been depicted as “denigratory manner.” As per the movie, a contract killer wore the jersey and made misogynistic to a female character in the movie.

Now the Royal Challengers Bangalore claims that the usage of the jersey in the movie has been depicted in a negative manner and that permission of the team was not taken prior to usage of the jersey. RCB has claimed that the negative usage has been done to hamper its brand image.

It was further noted that RCB and the filmmakers have reached an understanding. The filmmakers have agreed to alter the jersey in such a manner that it would not depict as a RCB jersey.

“This would include deletion of primary colours of RCB jersey as also the branding of the sponsors, etc. which appear on the RCB jersey,” the parties.

“In view of the fact that the feature film Jailer has already been released in theatres as on 10th August, 2023, the parties have agreed that the Defendants shall carry out this alteration in theatrical mode, within ten days i.e. by 1st September, 2023,” the court noted.
