the title Shaatir for their thriller, featuring Emraan Hashmi as a conman.
The movie was in title trouble. When the
makers checked to register Shaatir, they realised that the title
already belonged to
Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd.
This was a huge cause of concern for the
makers. Incidentally, when UTV officials
met Rohit Shetty for a casual meeting
since the two are working on Chennai Express, this topic came up.
Rohit, who has had an exceptional
relationship with Ashtavinayak courtesy
the superhit Golmaal series with them, agreed to speak to the production
company, and helped settle the concern.
The makers were thrilled and grateful to
Rohit for his help.
"Rohit was extremely helpful, he
immediately spoke to Ashtavinayak and
helped us get the title from them," Manish
Hariprasad, creative director, Disney-UTV,
said in a statement.
"We're very excited with our next
production which is now called Shaatir. This will be Emraan's second
film with us
and we are looking forward to work with
him on something he has not played
before and he is also very excited about
playing a character of a shaatir conman," Hariprasad added.
