| Vishal Bharadwaj's next film tentatively titled Omkara is going to the Cannes Film festival. The makers will kick-start the promotions of the film in a big way at the festival. The entire cast of the film that includes Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Konkana Sen Sharma and Vivek Oberoi will be attending the festival along with director Vishal Bharadwaj. Meanwhile, as we had earlier reported, the final title of the film will be decided by a contest that will be opened up to the public next week. Three names have been short selected for the title and the general public can vote in by SMS to choose their favorite title. The short-selected names include Omkara, O Saathi Re and Issak (the bihari pronunciation of the word Ishq). The contest is titled 'What's in a name' that happens to be a Shakespearian line. And that's intentional considering the film is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello. Reportedly while director Vishal Bharadwaj was quite keen on the title Omkara, Ajay Devgan was reportedly not much happy with the title since Omkara is his name in the film and he didn't want the entire focus to be on his character as the title would suggest. So the makers planned a contest. This will be the first film to have its title decided by the general audience. |
