Actor-producer Ravi Mohan has achieved a temporary legal victory in the ongoing dispute over the title of his upcoming film, Bro Code. The Madras High Court granted an interim injunction in favor of Ravi Mohan Studios against beverage manufacturer Indobevs, which markets a drink under the same name. The court also barred the company from issuing threats of copyright infringement against the film’s production team, according to Live Law.

The High Court’s temporary injunction is valid for three weeks, providing immediate relief to Ravi Mohan’s production company. The court directed that notice be served to Indobevs and clarified that if the notice is not delivered, the interim protection could be extended further. Additionally, the company was restrained from making threats against the production team in connection with the use of the Bro Code title.

Ravi Mohan had approached the court seeking a permanent injunction to prevent the beverage company from interfering with the production, marketing, or publicity of his film. He argued that the use of Bro Code for the movie did not infringe upon Indobevs’ trademark rights.

The dispute arose after Indobevs reportedly cautioned the production team against using the title, noting that it had applied for copyright registration for Bro Code. The trademark application is still under consideration and pertains specifically to alcoholic and energy beverages.

Ravi Mohan, last seen in the romantic comedy Kadhalika Neramillai alongside Nithya Menen, is now making his debut as both producer and director with An Ordinary Man, starring Yogi Babu in the lead. He is also producing and acting in Bro Code, which features an ensemble cast including SJ Suryah, Arjun Ashokan, Upendra, Gouri Priya, Shraddha Srinath, Malavika Manoj, and Aishwarya Raj.
