O ji, hey Zee, change ji By: Tushar Joshi November 22, 2007
Sujoy Ghosh not willing to let go of Alladin title; has asked the channel to opt for another name
yeh mera hai, mera rahega: Sujoy Ghosh
What's in a name? Let Sujoy Ghosh tell you. Heard about Alladin? While there are hoardings on buses all over for the new Zee TV show, Ghosh is also making a film with the same name.
Sources report that the filmmaker, who is making the mega-budgeted Alladin with Amitabh Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh and Sahil Khan wants the makers of the TV show to change their title.
A genie's wish
A source from Alladin says, "Sujoy has the title registered under his name and doesn't want anyone else to use it.
The film is currently under production and Ghosh's team have initiated talks with Zee officials and asked them to alter the title."
Sam, from the production team of the film admits, "We have registered the title Alladin for both television and film. Zee is not authorised to use that title and we've asked them for a change."
Big problem
He adds that the makers of Alladin, the film, have a bigger problem with the fact that the TV show people are promoting the show as Alladin while it is actually registered under another title.
"Their actual title is Alladin: Jaanbaaz ek, jalwe anek. However, the tagline isn't prominently placed in the publicity hoardings or the title montage."
The other side
However, Meenakshi who works with the TV show stated she knew nothing of this. "I have no idea about the fight over this title. Maybe Zee is dealing with it. I am totally clueless about any such problem."
