When did you last see a Bollywood film where a string of Corporate names didn’t figure in the titles? It is so confusing that you give up trying to figure out who is to be credited with what! And in all, originality and creativity take a beating.
For the first time after a long gap, we are going to have film that is distributed by a single producer – a person with a name, rather than a Company. And that film is Puli which is being distributed by Chinni, son of distinguished Producer Director Pehlaj Nihalani who is also a Censor Board President.
