MUMBAI: Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar had taken to his social media some days back to ‘humbly’ request Dharma Productions’ Karan Johar and Apoorva Mehta to change the title of web series Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives.
In his tweet, Bhandarkar claimed that KJo and Mehta misused his title Bollywood Wives and asked them to not dent his project. Reportedly, the filmmaker also filed a complaint against Dharma with the IMPPA. Now, Madhur made another tweet; revealing how the film guild had ‘outrightly’ rejected Karan Johar’s title. The filmmaker shared pictures from the letter to the IMPPA and guild.
After alleging that Karan Johar tweaked the title Bollywood Wives to Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, Madhur Bhandarkar said Dharma productions has blatantly misused his title. On Twitter, he shared the pictures and tweeted, “When ‘IMPPA’ asked ‘Film Guild of India’ whether @DharmaMovies was given the Title #BollywoodWives where Dharma is a Member. The GUILD replied that they had outrightly rejected the same. That shows Dharma have blatantly tweeted and misused our Title #BollywoodWives. Check”.
