We have been hearing numerous names for Aanand L Rai’s next
starring Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma. While many titles for
the movie have been floating around for a year, including Katrina Meri Jaan and
Rangbaaz, we have come to know that the movie is called Batlaa which means a
small or short man.
A source reveals, “The film will see Shah Rukh playing the
role of a dwarf and as he plays a pint-sized character, people have been
calling it a dwarf film, a word disliked by Rai, who feels that it’s more than
just a dwarf film. He feels the story is greater than a character. The
filmmaker has always told people that more than a dwarf, the story revolves
around the story of a short man. Shah Rukh also plays a man of normal height
hence calling the film which didn’t convey the actual meaning didn’t make
sense. That is why after much deliberation the creative team and Rai, after
consulting with SRK, decided to title his film Batlaa, which means a man of
Liliputian-size. Batlaa conveys the story and is slightly light-hearted too, so
people don't think it's a very serious film. The first schedule of the film is
over with Shah Rukh and Anushka and Katrina will begin her schedule from next
month in Mumbai.”
