Veere Di Wedding vs Veerey Ki Wedding: High Court Rules In Favour Of Jimmy Sheirgill, Dismisses Anil Kapoor’s Claims
On Friday, the Bombay High Court ruled in favour of Jimmy Sheirgill starrer Veerey Ki Wedding and dismissed Anil Kapoor’s claims on flimsy grounds
Sonam Kapoor and
Kareena Kapoor-starrer Veere Di Wedding has been making headlines even before
it has gone on floors. Sometime ago, it was reported Jimmy Sheirgill is busy
shooting for a Punjabi film Veerey Ki Wedding, the title of which is similar to
the Anil Kapoor production.

The similarity
irked the Kapoors and Anil had written to Indian Motion Pictures Producers
Association (IMPPA) for intervention. He also moved court to stop makers of the
Jimmy Sheirgill-starrer from using the title, claiming they were seeking
mileage from the similar-sounding title of a bigger film.

However, on
Friday, the High Court dismissed claims
made by the Kapoors and ruled in favour of Jimmy Sheirgill’s Punjabi film.
Ashu Trikha,
director of Veerey Ki Wedding told a tabloid, “We were informed that their
lawyers had sent a notice asking us to be present in court, else they'd seek
interim relief. We rushed to get our paperwork done.”

“The judge said
he was not convinced by the [Anil's] argument. He did not find any misuse or
deceit as alleged, given that the story and cast were different. We are waiting
for the judgment copy,” added the director.

The Kapoors
haven’t released any statements from their side but it is said that the
decision is NOT a huge blow to the makers. The judge merely stated that both
films can retain their titles.
