Puri Jagannadh’s Beggar: Title Troubles for the Upcoming Film?
Puri Puri Jagannadh and Vijay Sethupathi Team Up for an Exciting Project
Acclaimed filmmaker Puri Jagannadh, known for his high-energy storytelling and action-packed films, is preparing for his next venture. This time, he is collaborating with Vijay Sethupathi, one of the most versatile actors in Indian cinema. Beggar, rumored title of Puri Jagannadh’s next film with Vijay Sethupathi.
While Puri has delivered several commercial blockbusters in Telugu, his recent films have not performed as expected. As a result, many see this upcoming project as a potential comeback film for the director.
Title Controversy Surrounding Beggar
The project has been making waves even before its official announcement, thanks to speculation around its title, Beggar. However, the makers are now having second thoughts about using this name.
Why Is the Title Being Reconsidered?
Several factors have contributed to the uncertainty surrounding the title:
- Registered Titles in Multiple Languages – The title Beggar has already been registered in certain states, which could lead to legal complications if the film is released under the same name.
- Similarity to Bichhagadu – In Telugu cinema, the name Bichhagadu (the dubbed version of the Tamil film Pichaikkaran) has already established a strong connection with audiences. A title like Beggar might remind people of the Vijay Antony film and create unwanted comparisons.
- Negative Connotations – Some believe that the term “Beggar” might carry a negative or unappealing impression, which could affect the film’s reception in the mass market.
The Search for a New Title
Considering these concerns, the team is now exploring alternative title options.
One potential strategy is to follow the multi-language branding approach, where the Telugu version retains a unique title while other language versions carry different names. A recent example is Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dragon, which was titled Return of the Dragon in Telugu.
This approach ensures:
A unique identity for the film
Avoidance of legal complications in other states
Better marketability across multiple language industries
What Can Fans Expect from Beggar?
Although no official details about the film’s genre, storyline, or cast have been revealed yet, there are strong rumors that this will be an intense, action-packed drama with a powerful role for Vijay Sethupathi.
If true, this would mark Vijay Sethupathi’s first full-fledged collaboration with Puri Jagannadh, making it a highly anticipated project.
Additionally, Puri is known for presenting his lead characters in unique and larger-than-life roles, so it will be interesting to see how he portrays Vijay Sethupathi on screen.
Official Announcement Coming Soon
Despite all the buzz, there has been no official confirmation about the final title or other details of the film. However, sources close to the production suggest that a formal announcement will be made soon, revealing:
- The confirmed title
- The full cast and crew
- The expected release date
