The much-anticipated film “Ramayana,” starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi, has recently found itself in a legal quagmire. A dispute over intellectual property rights is now facing the film, which has been the talk of the town for its star-studded cast and intriguing storyline.
The Excitement Around “Ramayana”
The film has generated much buzz, with Ranbir Kapoor playing Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi portraying Goddess Sita. The disappointment of Prabhas and Kriti Sanon’s “Adipurush” has fueled fans’ hopes for a better cinematic experience, leading them to pin their excitement on “Ramayana.”
The Role Of Yash
Adding to the intrigue, reports initially suggested that KGF star Yash would be seen in the role of Ravana. However, Yash has recently confirmed his involvement in “Ramayana” as a co-producer, leaving fans in suspense about whether he will also portray Ravana, adding to the film’s anticipation and curiosity.
Legal Trouble Brewing
Amidst the mounting excitement, the film is in a legal tussle. The leading players in this drama are the primary production house, Allu Mantena Media Ventures LLP, and Prime Focus Technologies Limited. The bone of contention is the rights to the title “Project Ramayana,” with negotiations hitting a roadblock due to a payment dispute.
The Future Of “Ramayana”
Allu Mantena Media Ventures LLP, the primary production house, asserts ownership of the “Project Ramayana” rights. They have issued a stern warning that any use or exploitation of the script or material by Prime Focus Technologies Limited would be copyright infringement. The production company has also clarified that it will not hesitate to take legal action to safeguard its rights, potentially impacting the film’s release.
