NCP seeks 'Vithabai' title change
There's some buzz around the film's title too: the NCP's Film and Cultural Department wants it changed to better honor Vithabai's legacy, with suggestions like Vitha or Vithabai, which the artist's family supports.
Cast member Anant V Joshi agrees that using the real name would add credibility and family approval.
The film also features Randeep Hooda and Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub.
