Tanu Weds Manu, the Kangna Ranaut-Madhavan starrer that turned out to be a suprise hit this year, has been courting legal problems right through its run at the box office.
Vinod Bachchan, one of the producers of the film, locked horns with a film corporation and a distributor called Sunil Bohra. He claimed that even though the film's intellectual property rights were with him, Bohra had gone ahead and sold it off to the film corporation without his knowledge or consent.
While Vinod didn't get his dues the first time around, the grapevine now suggests that recently another leading film corporation purchased the rights to remake Tanu Weds Manu in Tamil from Bachchan. With Bohra and Bachchan still locked in battle over who actually owns the IPR, a court in Chennai has ruled that a Tamil remake is not possible unless all other cases against the movie are resolved. A trade source says, "The Tanu Weds Manu rights issue has been a mess since day one. Bohra and Bachchan have both been taking turns pitching the film to other companies. In the bargain, they've messed up matters to a great degree."
