Sonia Mudbhatkal who runs a production company in the United States and Hollywood filmmaker John Hart Jr. had filed a petition before the Delhi High Court, seeking a stay on the movie 'The White Tiger' Netflix release due to copyright violation. In response to this, the Delhi High Court refused to stay the release of the film on the OTT platform Netflix. “There is no material on record to justify the plaintiffs approaching this court less than 24 hours prior to release seeking stay.

It is settled ... that any party approaching court at the end hour, seeking interlocutory indirection against the release of cinematographic film, is disentitled to any such relief,” Justice C Hari Shankar said. The film 'The White Tiger' is based on the book 'The White Tiger' authored by Aravinda Adiga, which was released in March 2008. The film features Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Rajkummar Rao, and Adarsh Gourav in the lead role.
