Simmba,' starring Ranveer Singh, Sara
Ali Khan and directed by Rohit Shetty
has landed in legal trouble as the
Delhi High Court has sought Rohit
Shetty Picturez' response to a plea
alleging that the film infringes the
trademark of a beverage company.
Justice Pratibha M Singh asked the
production house to respond to the
notice sent by Sona Beverages Co Ltd
and also "explore the possibility of an
arrangement being entered into,
reports DNA India.
The court made it clear that if the
production house does not respond
to the company's notice and does not
explore possibility of an arrangement,
the matter will be heard on the next
date, 4th December.
"It has also been impressed upon the
counsel for the defendant (Rohit
Shetty Picturez) that the defendant
ought to respond to the plaintiff's
(Sona Beverages) notice and also
explore the possibility of an
arrangement being entered into,
failing which, on the next date, the
matter will be heard, the court said
in its 2nd November order.
"Sona Beverages, in its suit, has
claimed that the film Simmba, slated
to released on December 28, infringes
its registered trademark Simba' "used
for a wide variety of products
including beers, mineral and aerated
water, and other non-alcoholic
drinks.
The company has claimed that the
trademark is also used in the
business of "manufacture,
distribution and sale of merchandise
including apparels, playing cards,
glasses, note pads and various other
forms of accessories and it has been
in use since 2015.
Meanwhile, Singh is in Italy, all set to
get married to actress Deepika
Padukone in an intimate ceremony.

This is ridiculous, unless there is a direct link to the name or trademark then it doesn't matter... this was they will be left with no word to title a movie as it must be taken by someone or some business...
