South’s star Ravi Teja’s recently released film ‘Khiladi’ has been embroiled in controversies. Bollywood producer Ratan Jain has filed a case against the makers of this film in the Delhi High Court. There has been a case regarding the title of the film. In 1992, the film ‘Khiladi’ starring Akshay Kumar, Ayesha Julka and Deepak Tijori was also released in Hindi language with this title. And the producer of this film was Ratan Jain.
Ratan Jain alleges that the makers of this new film have used this title for the Hindi version without asking. During a conversation with the media, Ratan Jain said that he has lashed out at the makers of this new film. “We have trademark registration for the Khiladi title and it is for the entire country. No one can use this title in the entertainment world without permission. Sabse Bada Khiladi, Khatron Ke Khiladi and other such films are different, but only we have the trademark of the Khiladi title.
Ratan Jain further told that, ‘Hearing our case, the judge said that now it is too late to stop the release of the film. We have also clearly said that we do not want to stop the release of the film. We don’t know why he did this but the trailer of the film was released very late on 8th February i.e. only 2 days before the release of the film. We prepared the case on 9th February and went to Delhi High Court for hearing on 10th. So there is no delay from my side. Anyway, how will we know in Mumbai if a film named Khiladi is being made in Telugu?’
Ratan Jain believes that, ‘Right now he has only taken the title of this film. Next, he will take the titles of many big Bollywood films. How much confusion will this cause? If you search player on google today you will get only telugu movie results, this is not correct. This is a matter of copyright and the makers must accept it.
