Vishal's film to be chosen by poll!

Now this something happening for the first time in Bollywood! Apparently, the crew of Vishal Bharadwaj's film based on Shakespeare's Othello is so confused with the title for their desi version that they have decided to pick the title from a public poll! Till now the film was tentatively known as Omkara. But, lead actor Ajay Devgan feels it doesn't portray the content of the film, as it is a love story. And director Vishal Bharadwaj agrees with Devgan. This was precisely when it was decided to have a contest among the people inviting names for the films, preferably with 'O' as the director wants it. The producer confirmed the news and said, "We will give the public three option- Omkara, Ishq and O Saathi Re. They can even suggest a new one. We will also provide a synopsis of the film to let people know about the plot." The winner of the contest will get a chance to release the film's audio CD with the entire cast in Dubai at the IFFA. Besides Devgan, the film also stars Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Konkana Sen Sharma, Bipasha Basu, Naseerudin Shah and Vivek Oberoi..
