In an instant-replay version of what happened with Yashraj Films' Thoda Magic Thoda Pyaar the producers of Ghajini woke up on Monday morning to a court summons from the producers one KBC Pictures claiming that they've the rights to remake the Tamil Ghajini and the Aamir film is therefore an infringement of their (KBC's) copyright.

The film titled named Kahani Ghajini Ki has an Amitabh Bachchan lookalike in the lead.

Hassled and frazzled by pre-release procedures producer Madhu Mantena rushed to court on Monday morning where the honorable judge allowed him to go ahead with the release procedure, arguing why the allegedly aggrieved party waited till a few days before the release of Ghajini to express his grievance.

But the producers of Ghajini have been asked to return to court on December 24, a day before the film's worldwide release.

Says Madhu, "This is such a blatant and crude method to stop our film's release. Obviously the honorable judge saw through it and asked us to proceed, though we are supposed to present ourselves again in court on December 24.

But it's a rather sad misuse of the judiciary by people who have nothing better to do than harass others. Where do they get the time to indulge in such transparently-fraudulent efforts? I mean, who had heard of Kahani Ghajini Ki until now? I hadn't."

The producer Iqbal claims KBC Pictures made a film called Kahani Ghajini Ki which has the same story as Ghajini, and it cost them Rs 10 crores.

Says Madhu, "It seems to me this is nothing but an effort to make money by putting out a false case."

Fortunately Ghajini's release is unlikely to get affected.

"We're holding special previews on 24 December before the release, but no premiere.

The only time he had a premiere was for Imran's Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na. He's a better producer than I am."

The film's leading man Aamir Khan doesn't approve of premieres.

"That too, " says Madhu. "Also the mood at the moment is not conducive to celebrations. A premiere is too much hassle at the moment. There's so much happening."

All efforts to locate Iqbal of KBC Films failed.
