You had just started completing your first script, which is being turned into a movie! Sounds exciting right? But here is a twist! Your movie is stopped because you had used the name of famous celebrity! Sounds weird? but the truth is, This happens in real life. Therefore, it is necessary that your script goes from script clearance. Script clearance is a legal due diligence process that involves reading and breaking down a script and identifying all items that represent all possible legal conflicts. How does it help? - It saves you from potential defamation cases.  - It gives you a brief idea of where you need to procure a license.  - It gives you a check of what you need to remove unnecessary legal conflicts.  - It saves you from the redo the shoots and avoids expensive editing costs. Last but not least, It gives you the green signal to start your film with no worries! Therefore, it is extremely important to make this check from an entertainment lawyer. So what do you think about this? Comment down below! #EntertainmentLaw #Medialaw #IPR #Scriptclearance

Rare Area of Specialization and difficult too with regard to enforcing them.

Earlier, I saw a short clip from an interview of director Anurag Kashyap where he speaks about how the Bollywood film industry is run by second generation filmmakers who have grown up in the trial rooms and therefore all their work lacks originality since their conception of what material is worthy of being part of cinema comes completely from what is already on screen. This “trial room effect” thus leads to a circular rehashing of the same-old-same-old without ever tackling real life and its many subjects. Apply this to the legal industry and you’ll be amazed to realise, as have I, that such a trial room effect exists in our industry as well. It is precisely the reason why the powers that be have failed so miserably to imagine a world where nonsensical rules don’t fetter citizens’ ability to effectively and easily address their grievances through legal processes. In the context of the legal industry, maybe this trial room effect can be called the “chamber effect” because that alone explains why no one in a position of power is looking at obvious issues and acknowledging that they need to be fixed immediately! Btw, don’t confuse this acknowledgment with the many law conferences where people “highlight issues” because that academic BS is also why we’ve remained in this position in the first place; that is to say, when you have a leaky tap, you get a plumber and fix the tap but in the legal industry, when someone notices a leaky tap, they have a conference, invite ex-HC and SC judges as guests of honors, discuss and debate how wastage of water due to leaky taps is a grave issue and at the end of it, everybody proceeds to lunch (which as we all know is what most people were thinking about since they first arrived for the conference) while the problem remains as is. So, if things are to change, perhaps first gen law professionals and leaders, whose worldview and ideas are not based on what is but what should/could be and who have the capacity to creatively change things, should be given a chance if this chamber effect is to change. Going back to the film industry, imagine if this change had never happened there; we’d never have the absolute gem of a film that is Gangs of Wasseypur. Now, regardless of whether you are a first gen or second gen lawyer, do you really want to live in a world without a GOW equivalent in the legal industry? I know I don’t. In any case, toxic senior ka, stipendless-ness ka, discrimination ka, sabka badla lega tera first gen lawyer. #sundaymusings

When it comes to film and TV production, legal considerations are essential to ensure a smooth and successful production. From contracts to intellectual property issues, there are a number of legal considerations that production companies need to be aware of. To avoid these pitfalls, it's crucial to consult an entertainment lawyer early, ensure compliance with relevant regulations, and properly structure business operations.  Key areas of focus include securing proper licensing, drafting employment agreements, classifying workers correctly, and using non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to protect proprietary ideas. https://bit.ly/3AJwARK
