READ: What's the connection between Sohail Khan & 'Hunterrr'?
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,February 14 2015]
Anurag Kashyap's song "I Am a Hunter" from 'Gangs of Wasseypur' was a leading chartbuster. So while the production house was brainstorming on names for a film they were producing, they borrowed the name from the song. They all mutually loved the title and zeroed on 'Hunterrr', which was resonating the most with the essence of the film.
However, when they got into formalities of registering the title they realized the name was already registered with Sohail Khan. After more brainstorming sessions they were yet unable to find a more fitting name for the film and that is when they decided to approach and request Sohail Khan for the title.
Sources added that Sohail generously gave away the registered title to them. In fact he fleetingly read the script and quite enjoyed it. Said co-producer Vikas Bahl, "Sohail is one of the the most generous people I've met in my life and one of my dearest friends..so even before I could complete my sentence, requesting for the title, he happily gave it to us..and we are so thankful to him for it as we were really struggling to get the right title for the film."
