Speaking to IndianExpress.com, Monga said, ” We have filed for injunction because we have the remake rights of Raid and the original director and original producer of Raid have also filed for injunction with us. We have the India remake rights of the film. The court has given us a hearing listed for the 8th of April and that is when we will know more.”

When asked if she would be open to an out-of-court settlement incase the other parties offer the same, Monga said, “We are in court and I am hoping to know what the court says and we will all know. It’s an open case.”
