On the same lines, the Producers' Council has put restrictions in using titles of the old films.
A lot of films produced in Tamil bear the titles of the old films like 'Billa', 'Polladhavan', 'Nayakan', 'Marmayogi' and 'Malaikallan'. There is a strong opposition to this from the producers and their heirs of old films. Their argument is that what if someone else already produced them with the same title, when they wanted to produce another film?
Following that the Producers' Council has put restrictions to use old titles. The President of the Council, Ramanarayanan has announced using titles of the old films will be permitted only if permission from the producers and their heirs was obtained.
