Title Clash: Bollywood films with names similar to Hollywood films

Recently, Ajay Devgn's film, titled 'Action Jackson', ran into trouble with Warner Bros slapping a notice against the film's producer, claiming that the title belongs to them.

It may be pointed out here that Warner Bros had produced a film by the same name back in 1988 and it starred Carl Weathers and Sharon Stone. As per the notice, producer Gordhan Tanwani - a member of the Indian Film and Television Producers Council along with Warner Bros - has been asked to change the title.

The IFTPC has summoned both the parties to resolve this issue. HitList takes a look at other instances where Bollywood films have borrowed titles from Hollywood productions.
