Actress-turned-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt daughter of famous filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, is not happy with the title of Akshay Kumar starrer “Holiday – A Soldier Is Never Off Duty”, as she too released a film titled ” Holiday” in 2006. She says that she had refused to share the title with producer Vipul Shah. Pooja earlier too had problems with another Akshay starrer – “Thank You”. She had registered the title for a remake of her father Mahesh Bhatt’s film “Arth”. However, it was used by Anees Bazmee.
As per sources, Pooja posted on Twitter, “Vipul Shah approached me for ‘Holiday’ and I refused. He approached (the) Guild ( Film and Television Producers Guild Of India) – Rejected. Next stop? IMPPA (Indian Motion Pictures’ Producers Association) where he registered ‘Holiday’ with a tag line.”
She further added, “First ‘Thank You’ and then ‘Holiday’! Akshay Kumar’s producers have an affinity for the titles of my films. Gentle Reminder – ‘Karma can be a bitch’.”
Well seems like Akshay’s producers should next start using original titles, or face the consequence as Pooja is known to have a temper.
