Actor Ravi Mohan’s production venture Bro Code, starring himself, S.J. Suryah, and others, is facing legal trouble with New Delhi-based alcoholic beverages company Indo Bevs Private Limited, calling upon Ravi Mohan Studios Private Limited not to use the trademark ‘Bro Code.’
The Madras High Court, however, has granted an interim injunction restraining Indo Bevs from interfering with the production, publicity, marketing, distribution, or release of the movie by issuing threats to distributors, exhibitors, OTT/satellite TV partners, and other licensees.
Justice V. Lakshminarayanan granted the ex-parte interim injunction for a limited period of three weeks following a commercial suit filed by Ravi Mohan Studios, and directed the counsel for the production company to make sure that a notice was served upon the beverages company by then.

“In case the notice is not served, the interim order will not be extended beyond the period of three weeks,” the judge made it clear, after observing that the production house had made out a prima facie case in its favour for the purpose of grant of an ex-parte interim injunction.
