The Bandra Metropolitan Court has ordered the Mumbai Police to register an FIR against Kangana Ranaut for Copyright infringement. The author of Didda: The Warrior Queen of Kashmir, Ashish Kaul has accused Ranaut of copyright violation. According to Kaul, he has the exclusive copyright to the life story of Didda, the Princess of Lohar (Poonch). Kangana, in a Twitter post last month announced the sequel of Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi & named it Manikarnika: The Legend of Didda. According to the complaint filed by Kaul, he had approached Kangana to write down a foreword for the Hindi version of his book.
