Screenplay should be in english or in native language

RangaRajan J (Querist) 11 December 2024 This query is : Resolved
I want to get my screenplay copyrighted under the Copyright Act, of 1957.

My Questions:

1) If I upload my screenplay on the Government portal, in my native language Telugu, will the officers in Delhi be able to approve my screenplay and sanction copyright?

2) In Govt. Portal says that "at least first 10 pages and last 10 pages should be uploaded, and if the whole script is 20, then all 20 pages to be uploaded". My doubt is my screenplay is 120 pages. Do I need to upload only the first 10 and last 10 pages or do I have to upload all 120 pages for copyright?

Many thanks for considering my request.
Rajan

You are aware that you are required to upload only first and last 10 pages, now what is your doubt in this regard.
Besides you are asking for copy right protection of original content hence there's no necessity to get confused about the language.
You may take the assistance of a copyright practicing lawyer for all such further issues.
