Sanjay Dutt's Saamy changed to Policegiri!

Tamil remakes are certainly the hot favorites this season and joining the bandwagon is producer T.P Aggarwal with a law abiding film which is the remake of the Tamil Hit Saamy. The South Indian remake Saamy was under the process of a title change. Starring Sanjay Dutt, Prachi Desai and Prakash Raj, it is directed by K S Ravikumar who is a well-known director in the south best known for his direction skills and treatment of a sequence. K S Ravikumar said, ''There was a tentative change in the film's title which was earlier going to run under the same name Saamy but it was later changed to Thanedaar Returns. The idea of having the same name as the Tamil flick and later Thanedaar Returns were in conflict with Sanjay's interest. We did not want to mislead our audiences by giving them an impression of a sequel. So Sanjay discussed about the title with me and the other members of the film and brainstormed over a lot of titles apt of the film. We short listed a few titles such as Rudra, Powerplay, The Game Of Action, The Savior, or Battle Of Fire. Yet, Sanju felt the names were very cliché and insisted to run around a title that can easily connect with the common man's lingo but at the same time should be unique. In the process, Sanju noted that we use a lot of lingo such as, Dadagiri, Gundagiri and Bhaigiri and the most famous being, Gandhigiri so why couldn't we aptly put it as Policegiri? He felt that this title could really connect with the audience as giri represents the common Hindi speaking individual's lingo. While deciding the title, the producer of the film T. P. Aggarwal trusted Sanjay's creative instincts and finalized the title as Policegiri”. Policegiri is scheduled to release in May 2013 release.
