It is very normal for film producers to have a dispute with journalists. The producers are often highly confident individuals who do not always like to accept the failure of their films. On the other hand, there are some so-called entertainment journalists whose X feed can show the kind of journalism they do.
So there are two parties involved. One is the makers of Kalki 2898 AD and the others are two journalists named Sumit Kadel and Rohit Jaiswal.
There is no doubt about the fact that the figures of Kalki 2898 AD are reported to be inflated. However, the journalists must take care of their words. We are in total favour of press freedom and such legal notices are indeed concerning.
But, it also becomes the responsibility of the journalists to be precise and solid in their opinions.
More than anything, Kalki 2898 AD makers are leading a pathway when more and more producers will try to dominate the journalism aspect of the industry with such legal notices. Although it may bring a positive impact if journalists are careful with their words, it will also hamper reports where journalists will refrain from saying the right things for fear of getting involved in legal matters.
