Actor-producer
Anil
Kapoor
may
call
a
truce
with
Tamil
star
Suriya,
against
whom
he
was
reportedly
planning
legal
action
for
launching
a
film
titled
"24"
--
which
happens
to
be
the
same
as
an
international
TV
show,
the
remake
rights
of
which
rest
with
the
Mr.
India
star.
"I
have
spoken
to
him
(Suriya).
I
think,
hopefully,
it
will
settle
down
and
we
will
sort
it
out.
We
are
ready
with
it...
See,
we
all
protect
our
brand
and
name,
and
so
we
do
everything
to
protect
it,"Anil,
who
is
in
the
Malaysian
capital
to
promote
the
upcoming
International
Indian
Film
Academy
(IIFA)
Weekend
and
Awards,
told
this
visiting
IANS
correspondent.
According
to
a
news
report,
Anil
was
ready
to
take
strict
legal
action
against
Suriya
over
the
"24",
which
the
latter
is
starring
in
as
well
as
producing
under
home
banner
2D
Entertainment.
Since
the
look
and
logo
of
the
title
seemed
similar
to
the
popular
American
TV
series
"24",
for
which
Anil
had
bought
the
remake
rights
for
from
20th
Century
Fox
International
TV
a
few
years
ago,
it
has
irked
him.
Meanwhile,
Suriya's
"24",
helmed
by
Vikram
Kumar,
went
on
floors
on
Wednesday
with
a
month-long
schedule
in
Mumbai
before
heading
to
other
locations.
IANS
tried
contacting
director
Vikram
Kumar
for
a
comment,
but
in
vain.
Anil,
who
has
starred
in
a
season
of
the
American
"24",
brought
a
'desi'
version
of
the
show
"24" to
Indian
TV
screens
via
Colors
in
2013.
A
new
concept,
with
high
production
values,
an
impressive
line-up
of
actors
like
Shabana
Azmi,
Tisca
Chopra
and
Mandira
Bedi,
the
show
struck
a
chord
with
viewers,
who
were
fed
up
of
the
humdrum
TV
soaps
on
kitchen
politics
and
bedroom
gossip,
had
to
offer.
Now,
the
58-year-old
is
ready
to
start
working
on
the
second
season
of
the
show.
