Don`t judge film by title: Telugu director

Chennai: Telugu director T. Prabhakar feels it isn`t right to judge films by their titles as they are most often either named to attract audience attention or have at best a vague connection with the story.

"You can`t judge a film by its title because not all film titles have some connection with the context of the film. My forthcoming Telugu film is titled `Oka College Story`, but it isn`t only about college life and classroom romance. Some films with quirky titles are aimed at drawing audience to the theatre," Prabhakar told IANS. "Oka College Story", which stars Shravan, Monal, Aarthi Puri, Vijaya Bhaskar and Naveen, is inspired from few Tamil films, but not copied, says the director. "My film is inspired from few Tamil films, but not copied entirely. I really liked few Tamil films that released recently and based on these films, I scripted my film," he added. The film, which is in its post-production phase, has cinematography by Shanapathi and editing by Praveen Pudi. It will release in the first week of December. IANS
