Just hours after India executed precision strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, several leading Bollywood production houses reportedly rushed to register titles inspired by Operation Sindoor Sources say at least 15 filmmakers and studios have applied for title registration with the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association. Meanwhile, legal platform Bar and Bench reported that Reliance Industries Limited was the first to file a trademark application for the title. However, the company has since withdrawn it, stating, “Reliance Industries has no intention of trademarking Operation Sindoor, a phrase which is now a part of the national consciousness as an evocative symbol of Indian bravery.” Insiders tell mid-day that producers are considering variations such as Mission Sindoor, Badla Sindoor, and others, with patriotic prefixes or suffixes like Desh Ki Shaan or Humara Jawab to avoid similarities. Top contenders include Mahaveer Jain, John Abraham, and Aditya Dhar.
