The upcoming Disney Hotstar series, **Yakshini**, a captivating tale of a supernatural woman with enigmatic powers, has found itself entangled in a legal battle even before its release. The series, based on South Asian folklore, has drawn the ire of Pocket FM, a popular audio platform, which claims its own audio series titled "Yakshini" has been infringed upon.

Pocket FM has filed a lawsuit in the Delhi High Court, alleging copyright infringement, and seeks action against Disney Hotstar.  Despite this legal tussle, the Disney Hotstar series is set to premiere on June 14th, with no delays announced.
