Ranbir Kapoor‘s highly anticipated project, Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and co-produced by Yash, faces a significant hurdle. Recent reports reveal a legal dispute over the film’s intellectual property rights.
According to a Money Control report, the primary production company, Allu Mantena Media Ventures LLP, is embroiled in a legal battle with Prime Focus Technologies Limited. The disagreement revolves around the title Project Ramayana.
Allu Mantena Media Asserts Ownership of Project Ramayana
Negotiations for intellectual property rights began in April 2024 but reportedly stalled due to incomplete payments needed to finalise the agreement.
In response, Allu Mantena Media Ventures LLP claims ownership of the Project Ramayana rights. They assert that any use or exploitation of the script or material by Prime Focus Technologies Limited would constitute copyright infringement. The production house is prepared to take legal action to protect its rights.
The statement reads, “Allu Mantena Media Ventures LLP claims that the rights to Project Ramayana continue to belong to them. Any use or exploitation of the script or material by Prime Focus Technologies Limited or any affiliated entities would constitute an infringement of their copyright. The notice also states that Prime Focus Technologies Limited has no right, title, or interest in the Project Ramayana material. The production company has expressed its intention to take legal action to protect its rights if necessary.”
Will This Legal Dispute Delay Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana Production?
The unresolved legal dispute raises concerns about potential delays in the film’s production timeline. Despite leaked images suggesting filming has commenced, featuring Ranbir Kapoor’s character, uncertainties linger over the project’s progress.
Director Nitesh Tiwari and producer-actor Yash are yet to respond to the reports. In a recent interview with Variety, Yash, renowned for his role in KGF 2, disclosed his role as a co-producer in Ramayana. He expressed his aspiration to elevate Indian cinema globally, citing collaboration with a top VFX studio in Los Angeles. This collaboration naturally led to discussions about Ramayana, aligning with their shared vision for Indian cinema.
