Ajay wants and gets Garam Hawa!

It's an oft seen case that the name of a film becomes a major issue. Same happened for a Priyadarshan film starring Ajay Devgn, Paresh Rawal and Akshaye Khanna among others. The three people and the producer of the movie Kumar Mangat were brainstorming over the title of the film. It was then that Rawal suggested Garam Hawa and Ajay vetoed for it firmly. In fact he compelled everyone to stick to it.

Paresh said that amongst all the titles, Garam Hawa had the strongest impact. Priyadarshan explained that initially, he was a bit skeptical about calling it Garam Hawa. His film has lots of violence and action, and the title needed to carry a strong punch. None but GH suited it best. Akshaye Khanna echoes the thought. Kumar Mangat informed that there were five titles in contention. They had selected Ardh Satya, Nishaad, Man Maani, Garam Hawa and Isshaq. The film is an action-thriller with a tongue-in-cheek humor. He felt people might connect to MS Sathyu's Garam Hawa and remember that film. He liked Man Maani, Isshaq as the film revolves around a love story upon which honour killing, and other plots unfold.

Ajay Devgn argued that how many of this generation would know about MS Sathyu's Garam Hawa and relate to it? Also the film is not a love story but around the honor killing in a village and the two guys, an army and CBI officer who come to investigate it, so Isshaq would give it a different connotation. It's an action-thriller. Man Maani sounds too frivolous and will give the impression of being another emotional comedy. He thought with the right kind of action and visuals, Akshaye and he with guns would make a tremendous impact with the title of Garam Hawa. In fact, we could even have a song in the film based around on this title.
