MUMBAI: Two days prior to the release of the Aamir Khan-starrer Ghajini, KBC Pictures filed a suit against the film in the Bombay High Court on Monday asking for a stay on its release. The petition will be heard by the HC on Wednesday by Justice DG Karnik.

Produced by Geetha Arts, the film is supposed to see a simultaneous release in India and globally on 25 December.

According to KBC Pictures, the rights to remake the Tamil Ghajini are held by them and hence the film,written and directed by A R Murgadoss, is an infringement of their copyright.

Ghajini is the Hindi remake of the Tamil film with the same name. The film was also made in Telugu.

The film revolves around the story of a rich businessman who suffers from short-term memory lapse. Ghajini, made at a budget of Rs 300 million, displays the businessman's revenge for his wife’s murder.
