Rohit and Aarif at war of the ‘Bol Bachchan’ movie title
Rohit Shetty, Director of 'Ashtavinayak' or 'Bol Bachan?'
Producer Aarif Khan has already started filming ‘Bol Bachan’ with himself and Amitabh Bachan’s duplicate in the lead role. His movie revolves around farmer suicides. However, Rohit Shetty, has also filed for a movie with the same name with the Association of Motion Pictures and TV Programme Producers (AMPTPP), starring Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan. Obviously Aarif Khan was upset when he realised that AMPTPP had given the title to previously named Ashtavinayak for Rohit Shetty especially as he has already started filming his movie.
Ratan Jain, AMPTPP President, explained that the title has not been given to Ashtavinayak but it is with the association itself. The title was with Aarif for three years. According to AMPTPP, if the person does not start shooting the particular film they can give the title to the next party. If Aarif has indeed begun shooting then he has to produce evidence. The Association is now waiting for proof from Mr. Khan. If he cannot do this, the title ‘Bol Bachan’ will be given to Rohit Shetty.
