Sun TV’s commercial copyright infringement suit names CSK and its officials, including CEO and Managing Director Kasi Viswanathan, Head of Finance Avinash Sridharan and Head of Content Radhakrishnan Sreenivasan as defendants.
The suit recounts that CSK released a promotional video on March 1 to launch its IPL 2026 jersey on its official social media platforms, including Instagram, X, YouTube and Facebook.
Sun TV alleges that the video incorporated audio tracks, background scores and dialogues from Jailer, Jailer-2 and Coolie – three high-profile Rajinikanth projects produced by Sun Pictures, the film production arm of Sun TV Network.
Jailer, released in 2023, was one of the biggest Tamil box-office successes of the year and featured a widely popular soundtrack composed by Anirudh Ravichander. The film’s music, particularly tracks like Hukum and its background score, became viral hits across social media and stadium events.
The upcoming sequel Jailer-2 and the film Coolie are also Rajinikanth projects produced by Sun Pictures with music by Anirudh Ravichander.
