Nani has a strange explanation for the title of “Gang Leader” that is scheduled for release on September 13.
“Gang Leader” was an iconic hit in Megastar Chiranjeevi’s career and mega fans had created an uproar when Nani had unveiled the first look of this current movie with Chiranjeevi's movie title. They slammed him for stealing Chiru’s iconic title.
Mega fans were hoping that either Ram Charan or any star from the mega family would use this title for their future films.
Undeterred by the backlash, Nani decided to keep the same title for his movie.
He also gave an explanation to please the mega fans -- “When you like someone, you name your kid after them. We have used this title out of our admiration towards Megastar Chiranjeevi garu. I don’t see any problem with that. I am pretty sure that Chiranjeevi’s fans will also understand this logic,” he said during a media interaction.
However, it is to note that the title didn’t come to him so easily. He and his producers had to fight a huge battle in the Film Chamber to secure this name.
When the chamber refused to give, they finally relented to use the prefix, to make it “Nani’s Gang Leader”.
