Look at the background behind changing title of the first film directed by Venkat Prabhu, Chennai 600028, Kavingar Vali.
Chennai 600028 was a huge hit. The film was a huge breakthrough not only for venkat prabhu but for many others including Siva, Jai, Vijayalakshmi, Nitin Sathya, Premji. P.Iranjith, who worked as an assistant director in the film chennai 28, is currently in the list of the best directors of tamil cinema. That film gave identity to so many talented people.
After the success of chennai 28, they made its second part a few years ago. The film was also a huge hit. At this stage, let's see some interesting incident that happened before the release of chennai 28. Accordingly, venkat Prabhu's first name for the film was chennai 28. Vali asked him to change the name given by him to chennai 28.
Venkat Prabhu first titled the film as 'Enga Ariya Una Varathe'. When I told this title to Vali, he told me that no one would come to buy a film with such a title, chennai 28. The title that Prabhu venkat changed after listening to Vali's speech is a symbol of him today. This is why venkat prabhu would start the film by thanking Vali in all his films
