Shah Rukh Khan's wrapped up filming the first schedule of Aanand L Rai's next in which he will be seen playing a midget. The movie stars Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma along wtith SRK and marks the return of Jab Tak Hai Jaan trio on screen. Earlier this morning, a Pinkvilla report suggested that the SRK film has been titled Batlaa.

Previously, we've been hearing other tentative names of the same film such as Rangbaaz and Katrina Meri Jaan. The report quoted a source as saying, "The film will see Shah Rukh playing the role of a dwarf and as he plays a pint-sized character, people have been calling it a dwarf film, a word disliked by Rai, who feels that it’s more than just a dwarf film. He feels the story is greater than a character. The filmmaker has always told people that more than a dwarf, the film revolves around the story of a short man. Shah Rukh also plays a man of normal height hence calling the film which didn’t convey the actual meaning didn’t make sense. That is why after much deliberation the creative team and Rai, after consulting with SRK, decided to title his film Batlaa, which means a man of Liliputian-size. Batlaa conveys the story and is slightly light-hearted too, so people don't think it's a very serious film." 

But is that really the title of the film? The folks at BollywoodLife got in touch with the director himself to clarify whether the film is actually titled Batlaa and guess what? Turns out that the title of the film hasn't been locked in yet. On being asked if Batlaa is the title of hsi film with SRK, Aanand L Rai said, "No, it is not true." Well, that clears the confusion once and for all. 

Since the film is to hit the theatres next year, there's still a lot of time left to zero in on a dhamakedaar title. Isn't it?
