The
prolific
Priyadarshan
has
had
more
than
his
share
of
title
problems
with
his
new
Ajay
Devgn-Akshaye
Khanna-Bipasha
Basu
starrer.
A
hard-hitting
film
about
love
across
caste
barriers
and
honour
killing
set
in
Bihar,
Priyan
wanted
to
call
it
Ishqana.
But
Ishqiya
came
along
and
Priyan
chose
Garam
Hawa.
But
now
that
title
too
had
to
be
hastily
abandoned
and
Priyan
has
called
his
film
Aakrosh.
Explains
the
exhausted
director,
"We
wanted
to
call
it
Garam
Hawa
as
homage
to
M.S.
Sathyu's
classic
film
of
that
name.
But
then
Mr.
Sathyu
got
very
upset.
We
received
a
letter
from
him
questioning
our
right
to
use
his
title.
We
immediately
abandoned
Garam
Hawa.
In
order
to
use
Aakrosh
as
the
title,
we
got
the
original
Aakrosh's
director
Govind
Nihalani's
permission.
He
was
very
generous
about
it."
Of
late,
Priyan
has
been
working
over-time.
"I
need
a
break.
I've
four
films
this
year.
Aakrosh
and
Khatta
Meetha
are
almost
complete.
Then
I'm
going
into
a
film
about
the
loves
and
lusts
of
the
youth
for
which
I
want
to
cast
newcomers
along
with
Prateik
Babbar.
I'm
starting
this
film
in
July.
Finally,
I
want
to
make
my
realistic
no-frills
film
on
AIDS
at
the
end
of
this
year
with
Aamir
Khan
in
the
lead.
I'll
go
to
him
only
when
my
script
is
ready."
Priyan
says
he
needs
a
star
like
Aamir
to
have
a
large
receptive
audience
for
the
AIDS
film.
"I'm
more
successfully
known
for
my
comedies
in
the
North.
However,
even
if
Aamir
declines,
I'll
still
go
ahead
with
the
AIDS
film."
