Bengaluru court vacates stay on Ramya's maiden production 'Swathi Mutthina Male Haniye'
Bengaluru, Apr 6: A Bengaluru court has vacated the stay over the use of the title 'Swathi Mutthina Male Haniye' for a film produced by actor Ramya Divya Spandana's production house Applebox Studios.
Veteran filmmaker S V Rajendra Babu had moved the court claiming that the title was a rip off from a famous song "Swathi Muttina Male Haniye" from the movie 'Bannada Gejje'.
Babu had also claimed he had started shooting a movie by the same name starring Ambareesh which could not be completed due to the actor's death.
Civil and Sessions Court judge Padma Prasad vacated the ex parte temporary injunction order granted in favour of Babu on Wednesday.
The court observed Babu had failed to show that he had registered the title or that the one line of a song can be considered as copyright material.
It said the material on record sufficiently showed that Applebox Studios was the absolute owner of the title Swathi Muttina Male Haniye'.
The court also noted the movie has been completed and is ready for release.
A romantic drama, 'Swathi Mutthina Male Haniye' stars Siri Ravikumar opposite Raj B Shetty.

Hotel Taj West End in Bengaluru receives fake bomb threat via email
Bengaluru: Hotel Taj West End in Bengaluru received an email on Saturday morning, with a bomb threat. A thorough investigation, using sniffer dogs and the bomb squad on the hotel premises proved the threat to be a hoax, a top police officer has said.
The staff of the hotel, commonly used to host prominent politicians and cricketers, received the bomb threat e-mail, Deputy Commissioner of Police (central), HT Shekhar said. The bomb disposal squad rushed to the scene on being informed of the mail and checked the premises of the hotel thoroughly, before declaring the email threat a hoax, he added.
A complaint has been registered by the police and investigation is underway.
Three hotels in Bengaluru, including a five-star hotel, received bomb threats in May 2024. The city also witnessed a blast at the popular Rameshwaram Café, injuring at least nine people, which shocked the residents of Bengaluru.
