Why were Saif, Shahid not happy with Julia?

Deccan Chronicle | Asira Tarannum | November 26, 2015, 22.56 pm IST
Saif Ali Khan
If industry sources are to be believed, then Vishal Bharadwaj's film Rangoon was earlier titled Julia. So why the change? Turns out the men in the film " Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan " didn't think it was a good idea to give out the impression that it's a women-centric film, especially when the male characters have meaty roles. Kangana Ranaut plays a central character in the film, that of a dancer called Julia.
The film is a biopic on actress and stuntwoman Mary Evans Wadia, popularly known as "Fearless Nadia". It is set in the backdrop of the Second World War, the period when the British Army had fought against the Indian National Army in Burma, which was known as Rangoon at that time. The film is supposedly a love triangle where the men are integral to the core plot.
A source said, "Vishal had earlier titled the film Julia but the title was making it look like a women-centric film. The makers thought that people might get confused. Also, it was heard that both Shahid and Saif were not happy with that title."

Neither of them has any BO pull anyway, their egos are the only way that they keep themselves believing that they are stars⭐️ .. 😆

Apparently not just the actors, but makers themselves weren't convinced 😆

Lame. Piku was not only Piku's story. Don't remember reading Big B or Irrfan asking the makers to change the title.

I speculated this back in May when Rangoon was announced. Kangy in her TWMR promotional IV mentioned about her future project with Vishal and kept referring to it as Julia, then quickly correcting it to Rangoon. That's when I realized the reason must have been to avoid looking like a female centric art film, for obviously commercial reasons.

Regardless, I'm thrilled she has the central role under the able direction of Vishal. Look forward to her ballets. Bring it on ⭐️

It seems promising with this title in terms of Commerce . So happy to see Kangy is actually having central character
