Subject: Notice for Defamation and Damage to Reputation

Dear Mr. Biswas,

1. We act on behalf of our client, Mr. Siddharth Kumar Tewary, Founder and Director of Swasti
Productions Private Limited (“Client”). Our client is well –known in the Entertainment
Industry and has been involved in the business of film & television production. Till date our
client has successfully produced many serials. Our client enjoys immense appreciation and
acknowledgement for their work. Our Client is one of the biggest and known producers in
the industry. He has been doing business for many years.

2. By way of this legal notice, we address the baseless, defamatory, and mala fide actions
undertaken by you, which have caused unwarranted damage to our Client’s reputation and
goodwill.

3. At the outset, our Client categorically denies and rejects all allegations made in your notice
dated 02/11/2024. The inclusion of our Client in your notice is baseless, unwarranted, and
appears motivated by an intent to defame our Client and harm their standing in the industry.

4. Our Client engaged Fat Monk Productions Private Limited (“Fat Monk”) to create the AI video
titled “Aayi Diwali Ram.” Your claims against our Client are wholly unfounded, as there was
no direct engagement, contractual relationship, or obligation between our Client and you.
Any disputes you have pertain solely to Fat Monk.

5. Your deliberate attempt to associate our Client with your grievances against Fat Monk is
improper and done with a mala fide intent to malign our Client’s reputation.

6. The inclusion of our Client in your notice and the subsequent dissemination of its contents
through news outlets constitute defamation, as these actions:
a Have caused harm to our Client’s goodwill and standing in the industry.
b Are unsubstantiated and made without lawful basis or verification.
c Create a false and damaging narrative regarding our Client’s involvement in matters
irrelevant to them.

7. It has come to our Client’s attention that news articles and other public statements have
been made concerning your baseless allegations. This premature and unauthorized
disclosure of an ongoing legal matter breaches confidentiality and demonstrates a reckless
disregard for due process. Your actions serve no purpose other than to tarnish our Client’s
reputation.
8. Our Client retains sole discretion regarding the allocation of credit in its works. This is a well-
known policy within the industry and does not constitute any legal obligation toward you.
Any grievances on this matter are exclusively between you and Fat Monk.

9. In light of the above, our Client demands the following actions from you immediately:
a. Public Apology: Issue a written apology addressed to Swastik Productions Private
Limited, its founder, directors, employees, and affiliates, retracting all defamatory
statements or insinuations made against our Client. This apology must be published
in the same media platforms where your notice and its contents have been
disclosed.
b. Retraction of Notice: Remove all references to Swastik Productions Private Limited,
its founder, and affiliates from your notice dated 02/11/2024 and any other related
communications.
c. Cease and Desist: Immediately desist from making any further defamatory
statements, allegations, or insinuations against our Client.

10. A copy of the public apology and confirmation of compliance with the above demands must
be provided to our Client within ___ days of receipt of this notice.

11. Failure to comply with the above demands will compel our Client to pursue all available legal
remedies, including but not limited to:

12. Filing a civil suit for defamation and damages, claiming compensation for the harm caused to
our Client’s reputation and goodwill.

13. Initiating criminal proceedings under applicable laws for defamation and other related
offenses.

This notice is issued without prejudice to our Client’s rights to seek further remedies as may be
advised in law or equity.

Yours sincerely,
