The producers of upcoming Hindi film Rock On II finally agreed to give credit to Abhishek Kapoor as a joint author of the film's story.Kapoor had moved the Bombay high court against film writer Pubali Chaudhuri and Farhan Akhtar 's Excel Entertainment claiming joint credit for the story of the sequel to Rock On which he had written too.Akhtar's counsel Virendra Tulzapurkar argued at length that Kapoor had no legal or contractual right to back his claim. But after Justice Gautam Patel who heard the matter suggested that the matter be resolved and that Kapoor be given due credit, the producer agreed to give him joint opening credit as the writer of the story of the film Rock On II (or if it is made under any other name) along with Chaudhuri.The screenplay credit will only be of Pubali Chaudhuri. The HC then passed the order by consent of both sides to the dispute.Kapoor's lawyers Birendra Saraf and Hitesh Jain Jain had argued that the film a sequel to Rock On was written in a "collaborative effort" between Kapoor and Chaudhary and pointed to multiple mail exchanges to demonstrate the collaboration and joint work on the story of the film.This is a among the few cases where the author approached court well in advance before the film even hit the floor, unlike most cases when copyright claims get made at the fag end, usually just days before a scheduled release. The matter had earlier in April come up before Justice S C Gupte where film producer Farhan Akhtar's counsel Virendra Tulzapurkar said the sequel had "not even hit the floor yet".Saraf said that the issue was not of money claim, but an author's right for getting credit for his work.Kapoor undertook unequivocally that he would not claim any royalty or monetary compensation whatsoever for the film story or any prequels, sequels and connected derivative works.For latest Bollywood updates follow us on Twitter >>> @TOIEntertain For the latest in Bollywood news, like us on Facebook >>> TOIEntertain For more interesting Bollywood news and pictures follow us on Pinterest>>> timesofindia For latest Bollywood updates follow us on G+ >>> The Times of India Entertainment
