The war between the producers of Youngistaan and a soft drink company hots up following a legal battle over the title.On February 13, Mirror reported that the producers of Youngistaan, MSM Motion Pictures and Vashu Bhagnani’s Puja Films, was involved in legal battle with PepsiCo Inc over the title. The soft drink company sent the filmmakers a legal notice pointing out that they had copyright over the term ‘youngistaan’, which had been coined by them several years ago.The producers of the film were told to change the title with immediate effect. The notice further reiterated that they should withdraw all promotional material that mentioned the title.While hearing a petition filed by the soft drink brand, the judge at the Bombay High Court had earlier advised the two parties to sit down together and amicably sort out the issue. In the last hearing both parties presented their proposals to the court. However, neither was prepared to reveal the content of the proposals made in court.Confirming this, Pranjal Khandhdiya, Executive Producer, MSM Motion Pictures, admits that there were talks and options were discussed.According to a source, one of this was going with the sms spelling of Youngistaan.The source further adds that the producers were even toying with the idea of calling the film Faltu 2.Khandhdiya dismisses this report saying, “Faltu is another brand and our film is not an extension of it but a new film. So why would we want to call it Faltu 2," he argues.Yesterday, a verdict was expected by evening. But the High Court postponed the final order to a later date which has not yet been intimated.With the film’s release date-March 28-looming, MSM Motion Pictures has now decided to stay with their original title. “We will fight it out because the title was granted to us by the film associations. Once they clear it, no one should raise objections to it. If we give in now, the system collapses. Tomorrow, even a smaller brand can claim copyright and create hindrance for another producer. So we have now decided to fight it out,”Khandhdiya reiterates.PepsiCo India’s spokesperson reverted to our mail saying, “Youngistaan is a registered trademark of PepsiCo. Inc and has been extensively used in its campaign. As the matter is pending in court, we will not be able to further comment on the matter.”
