Has upset stand-up comic Raju Srivastav

The Bard may have said: "What's in a name?" But in B-Town it means a lot and also spells trouble.

Bobby Deol's character in Yamla Pagla Deewana is called Gajodhar.

The on-going promos of the comic caper that is slated to release in January, has him essay the role of a funny conman.

And this has upset stand-up comic Raju Srivastav. He says, "Bobby Deol may be playing the character of Gajodhar in the movie. But this name has been given by me and the entire country knows me as Gajodhar bhaiya."

He adds, "The makers have used my popular character without my permission and knowledge. I am hurt. No one has the right to grab my bread and butter like this."

A source from the film's production house however maintains, "The name has been given to Bobby's character because it fit his screen persona.

No one thought of anything else or wanted to offend anyone. And no one has a copyright on the name. Anyone can name anyone to their liking."

When asked about the controversy, the film's publicist maintains, "We have heard that Raju has raised an objection but we do not want to say anything."

The movie has Bobby star with brother Sunny and father Dharmendra.
