The production company has issued a strict legal warning to filmmakers regarding the unauthorized use of Do Aur Do Paanch rights.
Soham Rockstar Entertainment has officially issued a public notice asserting its exclusive ownership of the 1980 Bollywood classic starring Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor. The company declared sole authority over all Do Aur Do Paanch rights, warning the film industry against unauthorized adaptations.
Published in Atul Mohan’s Complete Cinema magazine on February 14, 2026, the notice formally addresses the general public and the entertainment sector. The production house claims to hold the sole negative copyright and all related intellectual property for the film.
Scope of Do Aur Do Paanch Rights and Exploitation
The company’s legal claim extends far beyond the original cinematic release. It explicitly covers derivative works, including the sole authority to create prequels, sequels, and remakes across all Indian and international languages.
Furthermore, the legal notice claims ancillary rights such as television serial adaptations, stage plays, novelizations, and comic books based on the script. Dubbing, music, and sound recording formats are also placed firmly under the company’s umbrella.
Any individual, digital platform, exhibitor, or broadcaster attempting to digitize, distribute, or reproduce the film without prior written consent faces immediate legal consequences. The studio has threatened civil and criminal action against any copyright infringement.
Recent Industry Speculation and Future Impact
This aggressive assertion of copyright follows recent media speculation regarding the 1980 property. Rumors previously suggested that director Rohit Shetty’s upcoming project, Golmaal 5, borrowed its core premise from the classic comedy.
Rohit Shetty Picturez promptly released a public statement denying these claims. The production house clarified that their upcoming ensemble comedy is neither inspired by nor a remake of the classic film.
By consolidating its legal standing, Soham Rockstar Entertainment is actively safeguarding its intellectual property. This move signals a strong potential intent to revive or re-monetize the classic franchise, while setting a firm precedent for strict copyright enforcement in the Hindi film industry.
