change
the
name
of
the
film.
PK
actor
Aamir
Khan
shared
that
changing
the
name
of
Margarita
with
a
Straw
would
create
a
connect
with
Indian
audiences
who
otherwise
would
be
apprehensive
of
watching
the
film
thinking
that
it's
an
English
film.
Shonali
bought
into
his
viewpoint
and
they
discussed
title
names.
Aamir
even
suggested
the
name
'Choo
ne
Chali
Aasman'.

that
the
title
would
signify

of
age
story
of
Laila.
Shonali
was
humbled
and
glad
with
all
the
praise
and
feedback
coming
from

along
with
the

went
back
to
the
drawing
board
and
worked
out
creatives
for
the
film
with
the
new
title.
With

positive
word
of
