Chennai Super Kings have agreed to drop the use of songs from Rajnikanth movie music from their social media after a ₹1 crore lawsuit by SRH's owners, Sun TV. The conglomerate had filed a copyright claim ahead of the IPL 2026 season. CSK has agreed to not use the music without a license and sought that Sun TV not interfere in the procedure.
Sun TV Network Limited, the media powerhouse and owner of the SRH franchise, had earlier filed a copyright infringement suit in the Madras High Court against Chennai Super Kings Limited. That comes after CSK's continued use of Rajnikanth songs Jailer, Jailer 2, and Coolie in their promotional content.
Sun Pictures, a subsidiary of Sun TV, holds the exclusive copyrights to these films. In court, senior counsel J. Ravindran, representing Sun TV, argued that CSK had used this intellectual property for commercial gain without authorization.
SRH have claimed that the use of Rajnikanth movie music has boosted jersey sales for the five-time champions and have gained economic advantage. The SRH owners are claiming ₹1 Crore in damages.
