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.
