'Main Hoon Rajinikanth' drops the south superstar's name

"Main Hoon Rajinikanth" has been renamed as “Main Hoon Rajini”, dropping the southern matinee idol's name, following his objection to the use of it in the title.

Director Faisal Saif said he had to take the decision as producer's money was at stake.

"My producer went to Chennai and showed the film to Rajini sir's team of lawyers and few other guests who found out my film is no way related to the superstar”, Saif said in a statement.

In the past the film-maker had refused to change the title of his film, but says he had to do it because the producer's money was at stake. The film is coming out on Oct 17.

"I still fail to understand what made the superstar approach the court of law? They could have asked us...and all these losses could have been avoided. Due to the case, my producers faced a huge loss”, added Saif.
