Almighty Motion Picture has issued a formal clarification reaffirming its exclusive trademark ownership of the name ‘Meena Kumari’ for all cinematic and audio-visual purposes. The announcement comes after the studio completed the screenplay for its upcoming feature film of the same title.
Legal Warning Against Unauthorized Use
The studio has made it clear that any feature film, web series, television production, documentary, or other audio-visual project using the name ‘Meena Kumari’ without its authorization is considered unauthorized. According to Bollywood Hungama, the studio stated that such unauthorized use will invite legal action.
Background and Recent Releases
This clarification follows the studio’s recent releases, including the supernatural thriller Bhay: The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery and the biographical drama Made in India: A Titan Story. Almighty Motion Picture has already published public notices across trade magazines, publications, and national media to establish its legal position and safeguard its rights.

Our Take: Protecting Intellectual Property in Entertainment
This move by Almighty Motion Picture is a clear signal to the industry about the importance of trademark protection in entertainment. By publicly reaffirming its rights and publishing notices in national media, the studio is taking proactive steps to prevent confusion and legal disputes. In our view, this is a sensible strategy — especially as the studio moves forward with its biopic on the legendary actress. For other producers and creators, this serves as a reminder to check trademark ownership before using a well-known name in any project.
