Rohit Shetty Retains the Title ‘Singham’
Rohit Shetty is all for making a police based thriller called Singham , which is actually a Tamil remake by the same name. Though he had confirmed the Telugu actress Kajal Agarwal opposite Ajay Devgn, there were speculations if he would change the title. But the director Rohit Shetty has laid these speculations to rest by retaining the original title. His production team also believes that Singham is the best title for the film.
“How many understood what Dabangg really meant when the film was announced?” asks a senior crew member of Singham, “In fact hardly any people, in fact even those belonging to the North belt of India had never heard of the word. People didn’t have any clue whatsoever even for Ghajini. And to think of it, it was the not even the name of the hero in the film; it belonged to the villain. Those were unusual titles but the hype around Dabangg as well as Ghajini was such that the titles stuck. It’s the overall package that matters.”
With everyone agreeing to the original title, it is confirmed that Singham is the actual title of the movie, which is currently in the shooting phase. “Nothing doing, Singham is the final title”, confirms Rohit Shetty, “We all are mighty excited and convinced about the title. And what do you feel is peculiar about the title? It’s a Sanskrit word which stands for lion. I am sure everyone is familiar with that.”
When asked if a conventional title would have been better off, Rohit says, “Well, if it was conventional, you wouldn’t have called me to check, right? The very fact that you are talking to me means that the title intrigued you. I guess the job is done”, he says with laughter before hanging up.
