Only recently we read that Siddarth’s forthcoming bilingual venture, directed by popular ad filmmaker Jayendra and produced by Sathyam Cinemas, has been titled ‘180’, since the title would suit both the Tamil and Telugu versions.
However, fresh reports now claim that the Tamil version would come with a new name ‘Putham Pudhu Kalai’ while the Telugu version would retain the original title ‘180’, thanks to a Tamil Nadu government’s order.
“The decision has been taken to honour an order from the State government that only films bearing Tamil titles would be eligible to get tax exemption,” say sources in the know.
With Priya Anand of ‘Vamanan’ fame and Mollywood actress Nithya Menon playing the heroines, ‘Putham Pudhu Kalai’ is said to be romantic entertainer. The title is inspired by a popular song by maestro Illayaraja in the 1980s.
