Running
Shaadi.Com, the romantic comedy starring Taapsee Pannu and Amit Sadh, has lost
its name, just a week before it was set to hit theatres.
The film directed
by Amit Roy, has dropped ‘Dotcom’ from its name and it has been renamed as
Running Shaadi. The film will hit theatres on February 17.
Often the titles
of the films in Bollywood are changed before the movie’s release. Factors like
numerology, protests which claim that the name is disrespectful, or a marketing
move, usually prompt such decision.

Running
Shaadi.Com, err Running Shaadi, is already grabbing eyeballs after being
selected as the third release in Pakistan right after Kaabil and Jolly LLB2.
The film’s stars
Taapsee and Amit confirmed the news. They were not clear about the reasons for
the change but confirmed the news, saying: “It’s not a marketing gimmick; yes
the name has been changed.”
“As actors, we
can’t really do much about it, but the name change wouldn’t really affect the
film,” Taapsee added.

Is it the fact
that the film has been in cold storage for over two years and the makers want
to give it a fresh name now that it is ready for release?
Amit Sadh said,
“Indians have complex issues. They keep looking for aspects to change something
or the other. Be it Running Shaadi.Com or Running Shaadi, the public will land
up in cinema halls and enjoy the film.”
