According to a report in Mid-Day, Kangana is keen on having the film titled as ‘Mental’, but this title is already registered by Salman Khan. Well, not many people would know this that Salman Khan-starrer ‘Jai Ho’ was earlier titled as ‘Mental’.

A source told the tabloid, “Kangana and Shaileshji are both keen to title their film ‘Mental’. They both think that it goes wonderfully with the story. But when the producers contacted Indian Motion Pictures Producers’ Association [IMPPA], they realised that the copyright of the name rests with Salman Khan Films [SKF].”

The makers of Kangana’s film have now reached out to Salman’s team to get the title. “They have also requested Kangana to have a word with Salman,” the source said.

A source from Salman’s production house says that as Salman is known for being generous he might give away the title. “At the moment, there’s no project that could use the title. Unless Bhai has something in mind, he will allow Shaileshji (Shailesh R Singh, producer of Kangana’s film) to go ahead with it,” added the source.

Well, let’s wait and watch if Salman will oblige and give away the title to Kangana or not.
