K. Bhagyaraj decides to rename his son Shanthanu's new film to avoid confusion with his own previous classic, Pudhiya Vaarpugal.
Actor-director K Bhagyaraj has said he has decided to change the title of his new film Pudhiya Vaarpugal (which has his son Shanthanu in the lead), as he had already directed a film with the same title.
Speaking at the launch of a book series on actors like Sivaji Ganesan, he said that old film titles should not be used to new films.
'if we name a new movie after the old one and if it bombed at the box-office, then the reputation of the classic would get affected,' said the film maker.
Meanwhile, his son's maiden venture Sakkarakatti is ready for release soon. He says, 'it is ab bubbly story and Thanu approached me. Though I was keen on introducing him, I chose to let Rathnam do it for the storyline was good.
