To “avoid hurting sentiments,” the creators of Kartik Aaryan’s newly announced forthcoming film Satyanarayan Ki Katha have chosen to modify the project’s title.
The new title for this Sajid Nadiadwala film is yet to be revealed. Satyanarayan Ki Katha means “Satyanarayan’s Story,” which is another name for the Hindu divinity Vishnu. On social media, the title has sparked anger.
Aaryan reposted the Instagram post of the film’s director Sameer Vidwans. It read, “A title of the film is something that emerges organically through the creative process. We have taken a decision to change the title of our recently announced film ‘Satyanarayan ki Katha’ to avoid hurting sentiments, even if that’s purely unintentional. Producers of the film and the creative team also are in complete support of this decision. We will be announcing a new title for our love story in the due course of our journey.”
The film is being touted as an epic love story. Earlier, Aaryan had shared a promo of the film. The actor wrote on Instagram, “A story close to my heart #SatyanarayanKiKatha ❤️ A special film with special people 🙏🏻”.
He had said in a statement, “I have been wanting to work with Sajid sir for some time now. I couldn’t have asked for better collaboration. Satyanarayan Ki Katha is a musical love saga which brings together a powerhouse of people who are National award-winning names. It’s also a first for me with Sameer Vidwans sir who has an astute sense of making sensitive topics highly entertaining.”
