The suit was filed by one Sanjay Haran over the title of the movie contending that his film (yet to be made) named just '13' was registered much before '13 B'.
Haran's lawyer argued that he had a right to object to the title, which is similar to his own and registered in December 2007. '13 B' was registered only last month, he said.
Haran claimed he had written to the Film and Television Producers' Guild (FTPG), where '13 B' has been registered, in this regard. His counsel said the FTPG had in turn written to BIG Pictures and Adlabs, the producers of '13 B', directing them not to use the title.
However, lawyer for '13 B', Amit Naik maintained that the film's title is actually '13 B (Fear has a new address)'. He further argued that Haran's movie never took off and its shooting is yet to commence.
He argued that the suit is too late as the movie is set to release tomorrow and 100 theatres nationwide had been booked.
Observing that Haran could have moved court earlier Justice A V Nirgude yesterday declined to grant any interim relief. The case will be decided in a due course
