Ravi Mohan landed in controversy

Actor Ravi Mohan has recently landed in a legal battle with Indospirit Beverages after he revealed the title Bro Code for one of his next movies.

Following the title reveal, the Delhi High Court prohibited Ravi from using the title after the Madras High Court had permitted it. The actor-producer now claims that this is why the beverage company went to court.

According to India Today, Ravi Mohan’s team issued a statement following the controversy. The team claimed that the beverage company asked Ravi to endorse their alcoholic brand in the movie, but he declined.

The statement reads, “RaviMohan studios registered its copyright BroCode Title for its script and its artistic work in the Entertainment category. #BroCode beverages team have asked RaviMohan to promote their brand in the film. RaviMohan refused it, as it would set a wrong example.”

Additionally, he asserts that the beverage company did not contest the Madras HC's order and instead went to the Delhi HC.

It continued, “So the beverage company has registered a case at Delhi against this Title and not challenged the Madras High Court verdict so far. Madras High Court continues to uphold @RaviMohanStudio’s rights over the title #BroCode, restraining Delhi Indo Beverages. Interim order extended till 21 Nov 2025.”

The statement concluded, “Also, the beverage company is planning to launch their brand in TN, so they have started this publicity stunt to push the brand in TN.”

The Delhi High Court has recently restrained Ravi Mohan Studios from using the title Bro Code to advertise their movie.

IndoBevs, the company that uses the name for its alcoholic and ready-to-drink beverages, filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in which the order was issued. Given that the brand is identical to the registered trademark and has the potential to deceive the public, the court determined that it is closely related to the company's products.
