Anil Kapoor and Suriya to have a legal tiff?

Bollywood star Anil Kapoor might file a case against actor Suriya's upcoming film 24 directed by Vikram Kumar and produced by his own 2D Entertainment. Anil feels that the film's logo and title design are very similar to a popular American series titled 24, for which, he holds the rights in India.

 

Last year this American series was remade in Hindi and was aired in Colors TV. It has been running successfully since then and a new season of the same will be launching soon.

 

Anil Kapoor has approached Suriya in this regard and he said to a popular national media,

 

"As we are from the same fraternity, I spoke to Suriya, before I take (any) strict legal action — as in send the notice. He said he would speak to his team and get back to me. What got me to take this step was the way the title of his film '24' looked and the logo which is very similar to our TV series, which has done one very successful season on Colors. It is something I thought I should protect as much as I can''.

 

While Anil Kapoor also took this concern to 20th Century Fox International TV which holds the original trademark of the American series, Fox said that they will consult with their legal team and then get back on this case.

 

Amidst all these hassles, Suriya has just tweeted about Vikram Kumar's project, ''Yes! We've started our new project with Vikram kumar! ARR musical. Need all your positive vibes!''

 

Will the title be changed? What will Suriya's reaction to this be? Stay tuned!
