A title change just before release has added an unexpected twist to Rio Raj’s upcoming romantic comedy. The actor, who was recently seen in ‘Aan Paavam Pollathathu,’ is now preparing for his next outing, ‘Ram In Leela.’ However, the film will reach theatres under a slightly different name. The makers have changed the title to ‘Ram And Leela’ ahead of its scheduled August 21 release. The change has created some curiosity around the reason behind the new title, especially after the film completed its censor process.
‘Ram And Leela’ clears censor with U/A certificate after title change
The major update came when ‘Ram In Leela’ successfully completed its censorship formalities and received a U/A certificate. Along with the censor clearance, the title was changed to ‘Ram And Leela.’ The change appears to have been made because the original title could carry a double-meaning interpretation. With the certification now complete, the film is ready for its theatrical release. The last-minute adjustment has also added a fresh talking point around the movie before it reaches audiences.
Rio Raj’s ‘Ram And Leela’ promises a quirky romantic comedy
The trailer gives a glimpse into the unusual world of Rio Raj’s character, Ram, who struggles to find a suitable bride. His repeated failures at various ponnu pakura events leave him frustrated about marriage. Things change when he meets Leela during a train journey and falls for her. Leela also likes Ram but has a strange condition — she cannot meet him after 6 pm. The story becomes more complicated with the entry of Ram’s close friend. The trailer hints at a surprising twist involving the friend and Leela, setting up plenty of confusion, humour and romance.
