In April 2018, Kumar came to know that the life of Vijay Barse who coached Paul’s team, was being made into a movie by Super Cassettes.
Kumar then approached the civil court contending that the movie ‘Jhund’ will have substantial elements from the life of Paul, on whose life story Kumar owns copyright.
The trial court, on September 17, 2020, ruled in favour of Kumar and restrained Super Cassettes from exhibiting the movie till the conclusion of the case. This order was upheld by the Telangana High Court on October 19, and in appeal the Supreme Court declined to lift the stay granted.
