Despite a legal notice from Warner Brothers claiming copyright infringement director Prabhudheva and his producer Gordhan Tanwani are in no mood to budge from the title Action Jackson.

We hear the producers Tips are geared for a legal battle with the American studio.And the film's leading man Ajay Devgn has pitched his might with the movie's makers.

It is now revealed that there is a very special reason why the film is called what it is. The leading man Ajay Devgn who is known to his friends as 'AJ' gave the film is title.


Says Prabhudheva, `We named the film Action Jackson because our hero Ajay Devgan is known as 'AJ' and we thought it would be a good idea to use the initials and extend it into the title Action Jackson as Ajay is doing both action and dancing in the film.`

The director says they aren't changing the title. `It isn't like Rambo Rajkumar where Rambo was a patented name by the Hollywood studio. How can anyone claim copyright over the words 'action' and 'Jackson'? And since the word 'Jackson' is in my title for the dancing we might have Michael Jackson's family claiming copyright violation.We can't just keep giving in like this for every title.`

As for the title belonging to a Hollywood film Prabhu defends his title, `I had never heard of a Hollywood film entitled Action Jackson.Didn't it come 25 years ago? So many films are titled Romeo & Juliet. Should Shakespeare's family sue?`
