Court Grants Interim Stay On Rishi Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu Starrer ‘Mulk’ Release

A sessions court here on Monday granted an interim stay on the release of Rishi Kapoor starrer film ‘Mulk’. The film is scheduled to be released on August 3. The court was hearing an application filed by one Vandana Punwani, who is embroiled in a property rent dues dispute with production and entertainment agency the Benaras Media Works Limited.

She has claimed that the Benaras Media Works Limited has links with the movie and hence the release of the film should be stayed till the dispute was resolved. According to the application, the agency, in 2011, had taken on rent Punwani’s bungalow in the city and had wanted to convert it into an office space. However, when it did not get the requisite permission from the civic body to convert the residential property into a commercial one, the company refused to pay rent to Punwani, the application alleged.
