Ramya wins the title rights for her debut production, rules city court

Actor Ramya’s production house’s debut film, Swathi Mutthina Male Haniye, which was embroiled in a title controversy, might finally see the light of the day, as a local court has ruled in favour of the actor. Veteran director SV Rajendra Singh Babu had filed a case under Intellectual Property Rights, citing that he solely owned the film’s title, and no other party could use it without his prior permission.

He had also claimed making a movie in the past with the same title starring Ambareesh and Suhasini, inspired by the popular song Swathi Mutthina Male Haniye from the movie Bannada Gejje. Bannada Gejje, starring Ravichandran, was incidentally, also directed by Babu. Ramya’s Swathi Mutthina Male Haniye, directed by Raj B Shetty, has the actor in lead role with RJ-turned-actor Siri Ravikumar as the female lead.
