Movie Title Development | Getting Creative In Kannada

Though the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) can’t force filmmakers to have certain titles, the excessive use of English words made them to come up with a set of rules about a year and a half ago. The rules said filmmakers must avoid English words in titles as far as possible. The committee responsible for okaying titles made many directors change English words. For instance, originally, director S D Aravind had titled his film `Bangalore Bylaw’. But, the KFCC asked him to change it and he renamed it `Jugari.’ “We cited some past instances but they told us these are new rules. We adhered to the norms,” said Aravind.
