Cine1 Studios, a production company asserting its role as one of the producers of the movie Animal featuring Ranbir Kapoor, has filed a petition with the Delhi High Court seeking an injunction to halt the film's release on Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms.

In 2023, the film "Animal," directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, achieved significant commercial success, ranking among the highest-grossing movies of the year.

Cine1 Studios Private Limited has initiated legal action against Super Cassettes Industries Private Limited (T-Series), contending that the two production companies had entered into a contractual agreement for the production of the film. According to the terms of this agreement, Cine1 Studios asserts a 35 percent profit share and claims entitlement to 35 percent of the intellectual property rights associated with the movie Animal.

The legal action claims that Super Cassettes Industries Private Limited (T-Series) incurred expenses for the production, promotion, and release of the film "Animal" without obtaining approval from Cine1 Studios. Furthermore, T-Series allegedly received revenues from box office sales without providing any details of the earnings, and despite the profit-sharing agreement, failed to make any payments to the plaintiff (Cine1 Studios).
