Telugu actor-director Tej, who has been promoting his own film titled Dude for over a year, expressed shock and disappointment over Mythri’s use of the same name.
Tej clarified that he has no intention of clashing with a big banner like Mythri. He has already brought the issue to their attention and is hoping for a positive resolution.
His Dude is a trilingual sports drama centered on football. It is in its final phase of shooting and is aiming for an August or September release.
Now, the big question is: will the title conflict lead to a change for either project? Or will both films proceed with the same name? The industry is closely watching how the situation unfolds.
