Filmmaker Pritish Nandy says he knows nothing about the controversy involving him and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap over the title Womaniya. He says he is making a movie called Womaniya which is why the title has been registered by his company Pritish Nandy Communications Ltd.
According to reports, Kashyap and Nandy were in a tussle over the rights to the title Womaniya – the former had earlier said he had Intellectual Property Right over the name while the latter said the title had been registered by his company.
Kashyap on Saturday announced on Twitter that the film, starring Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar, had finally got a new title.

“We have decided to not pay the extortion sum of Rs 1 crore to Pritish Nandy,” Kashyap tweeted.
