The super hit director R. Chandru of ÂTaj Mahal is now feeling highly comfortable with the approval of Hindi title ÂPrem Kahani for a Kannada film. R. Chandru was in doldrums when the KFCC disagreed to permit the title ÂPrem Kahani as he had completed the film shooting and taken up the publicity of his film. He submitted another letter pleading that the film ÂPrem Kahani is produced by newcomers KM Vishwanath and G. Ravikumar. The KFCC in the recently held meeting also looking at the flop of Kannada films showed soft corner to ÂPrem Kahani title. As a matter of fact non Kannada language titles cannot be registered is the KFCC verdict.

The budget of the film ÂPrem Kahani starring Ajay and Sheela touched Rs.5 crores and the buyers have already come for the film and at this stage the film is sold it would give two times the investment says Chandru.
