According to reports, Anurag Basu's 'Barfi' starring Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra  and Ileana D'Cruz in the lead has gotten into legal trouble.

Mumbai based, Murphy Enterprises are objecting to the use of their name, 'Murphy' in the movie without getting a proper NOC from them for the use of their brand name in the film.

The name of Ranbir's character in the movie is Murphy but when he is asked of his name, he mumbles something that sounds like Barfi, as he is speech challenged.


Murphy Enterprises have complained about the use of their name at various points in the film and in the songs as well. They are planning to take legal action.

The makers of the film have not yet responded to this development.

Ileana D'Cruz is very happy with the warm response that she has received so far for her Bollywood debut 'Barfi!' directed by Anurag Basu.


The hot and sexy actor revealed that she was earlier offered an opportunity to work with Salman Khan in the Prabhu Deva directed 'Wanted  (2009)' which was the Hindi remake of the Telugu film 'Pokkiri (2006)' directed by Puri Jagannadh starring herself and Mahesh Babu in the lead.

"Albeit I was excited to work with Salman, I felt that I was not ready for Bollywood then. So I allowed the opportunity to slip through my fingers," said the goan beauty admitting that she would love to work with Salman if she's offered a chance again.

However, the 'Nanban' heroine was quick to clarify that she had no regrets about refusing the given opportunity to act with Salman Khan and was proud to make her Bollywood debut with 'Barfi!'.

Lingusamy's plans to remake his hit film Vettai in Hindi ran into troubled waters when there were problems encountered with the dialogues being translated into Hindi.

Lead actor, Shahid Kapoor said he will continue with the project only if they agreed to rope in a good Hindi dialogue writer. UTV and Lingusamy immediately brought in Prasoon Joshi and thanks to this clever move recommended by Shahid, everything started to go smoothly.

A visibly relieved Lingusamy said "It was a big load off my mind since I do not speak Hindi and I am still trying to understand the market". Shooting will begin in June. Ali Zafar will be playing Madhavan's role. Asked about the heroines, Lingusamy said, "Ileana D'Cruz is almost finalized to play the female lead".
