Producer KV Sridhar Reddy Resolves Contested Title Issue

Producer KV Sridhar Reddy of Tollywood, who is funding the film Top Gear starring Aadi Saikumar, received a rude awakening when another production company released a first-look poster for the movie in Telugu. The multilingual movie, Top Gear, with Fahadh Faasil in the lead, is directed by Sudheesh Sankar. An irked Sridhar claims that he holds exclusive rights to the title ‘Top Gear’ in Telugu and protested against the other production house for announcing a film with the same title.

Sridhar put out a statement that read, “We are making a film titled Top Gear with Adi Saikumar and the shoot is also done. The film is in the last stages of post-production. When we were planning to release the first look poster, a popular production house in Telugu announced a movie with the same title. They even released the first look of the movie starring a star hero of another language. We’re completely disappointed with the act of the producers. It’s not correct to use the same title. We hold the rights of the title and no other body in Telugu can use it. I Hope, the producers will change the title, so that the issue will be resolved amicably.”
