Don't Copy "Guthi" ,Elsewhere Ready For Legal Action :Viacom 18


Show's producers Viacom 18 on Wednesday published an advert in the newspapers as a notice, warning that the network will resort to legal action if Grover or any artist uses the character in any other show.

"A certain artist and a stand-up comedian associated with the programme Comedy Nights With Kapil' aired on Colors television channels is planning to launch or be associated with other shows wherein the said artist is likely to perform the character of Gutthi' or use the mannerisms and characteristic features of Gutthi' or any other character played by the Artist in the said programme.
Notice Reads:

In the public notice, the makers have clearly stated that Guthi' is solely their intellectual property and that no one can reproduce "Guthi' and/or mannerisms and characteristic features of Guthi'."

Sunil Grover, who quit the show, had earlier tweeted - "I'm an entertainer. This stage or that stage, this character or that. My goal is to entertain even if mediums change. Indebted to CNWK 4eva! (sic)."

no need of this action, because Sunil never got popularity except comedy night with kapil while he did a lot of work on tv.

hey rani-lucki why r u in so aggressive mode.Viacom didn't do anything wrong, he uses only their right given by Indian law. Copyright


Copyright
Copyright is a right given by the law
to the creators of literary, dramatic,
musical and artistic works and
producers of cinematograph films
and sound recordings. In fact, it is a
bundle of rights including, inter alia,
rights of reproduction,

adaptation and translation of the

how can Sunil leave the show who gave him so much popularity in a short period which show touching the milestone.Gutthi is a character which is popular in only comedy night with kapil not in comedy circus.Viacom using gutthi character for his show after do many changes in this character.he leave the show (no problem) they r thinking the replacement of the Sunil, how can Sunil copy the same character while the same character already is using by Viacom.in professional life copy is strictly prohibited.

But this is only the one part of the story , we are saying this because sunil grover did the role of ghuthi before "Comedy nights..." also, Sunil grover was seen in the role of a villager girl in Comedy circus (which used to air on Sony) where his name was ghuthi... But no one can deny the fact that "Ghuthi" become popular from "Comedy Nights With Kapil" before that no one knows ghuthi. So now its interesting to see in future and to see what is in the fate of "Ghuthi ", it's all legal matter...

Sunil was not popular due to CNWK alone. He was popular on Sahara, Filmy, Sony and for brief while on Channel V and Sab also. Apart from work in Comedy Circus and some films like Ghajini.

Character copyright is odd and I wonder how can they issue notices like this! Kapil did Shamsher in Laughter Challenge on Star One and later he did the same acts in NDTV Imagine's show with Raju Srivastav and also in Comedy Circus and has done that character in his Colors show also. Did Star guys cry foul why he was doing that act on other channels? Then why only Viacom 18 is burning if Sunil performs an act with similar get up and mannerisms elsewhere? 😲

They are just insecure of this character and acts being lapped up elsewhere. Gutthi was popular and people used to copy her mannerisms a lot. Especially kids liked that act a lot. The channel and PH know this and seem insecure of the fact that it might become popular elsewhere.

They can take any other comedian for replacement of Gutthi in Comedy Nights. But no one can do it as well as Sunil did.

I wish Sunil hadn't left and there weren't any fallout. They were all a fun team to watch. Full on entertainment it was.
