Ram
Gopal
Varma
just
got
out
of
one
legal
mess
owing
to
his
decision
to
remake
Sippy's
Sholay,
and
he
is
into
another
law
snag
already!
The
talented
director,
whose
film
Nishabd
is
set
for
a
March
release,
has
been
accused
of
lifting
the
name
of
his
film
from
another
source.
The
Delhi
High
Court
has
issued
a
notice
to
RGV's
Film
Factory
for
copyright
infringement.
Apparently,
Nishabd
is
the
title
of
a
Bengali
film
made
almost
a
decade
ago.
This
film
released
in
year
2005
and
has
won
many
awards
and
accolades.
It
has
received
the
best
feature
film
award
at
Osian's
Cinefan
Festival
Asian
Film
and
'Coup
De
Coeur
Guimet
Award'
at
Vesoul
International
Festival
of
Asian
Award.
Filmmaker
Jahar
Kanungo
claims
that
he
retains
the
copyright
to
the
title
Nishabd.
Justice
A
K
Sikri
has
now
asked
RGV,
Adlabs
Films
Ltd
and
Super
Cassettes
Ltd
to
file
their
defence
statements
by
March
23.
Nishabd,
starring
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
debutante
Jiah
Khan
is
scheduled
to
release
on
March
2.
However,
Kanungo
has
appealed
to
the
court
stop
the
release
of
the
film.
