Kangana Ranaut is all set to dive into a whodunit after
wrapping up Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi (produced by Zee Studios) next month. However, much before
the film has gone on floors, looks like it has already hit a roadblock.

Reports suggest, Kangana has her heart set on a title
that, as luck would have it, has been registered by Salman Khan.
A source from the production unit told a leading daily,
"Kangana and Shailesh R Singh (the film’s producer) 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]. Salman's team had registered the title a few years back when they
were toying with the idea of naming Kabir Khan's then under-production film,
Mental. However, they later changed it to Tubelight."
Kangana Ranaut Poses For The Media
The makers of the mystery drama have now reached out to Salman’s team, to procure the title. "They have also requested Kangana to have a word with Salman," added the source.
A source from SKF indicates that the superstar, known for
his generous ways, may not hesitate to part with the title. "At the
moment, there's no project that could use the title. Unless Bhai has something
in mind, he will allow Shaileshji to go ahead with it."
You may recall that Salman and Kangana share a turbulent
history. The superstar had approached the actress to play his love interest in
Sultan, but Kangana had turned it down.

She had said that she didn’t see anything for her in the
project.
Nonetheless, time will tell if Kangana indeed gets the
go-ahead from Salman to use to the title Mental.
