When everybody was thinking that the title is almost finalised, Balayya said to have raised objections over the title. Balayya received suggestions from his close circle regarding the title. As Balayya is an MLA. and the movie title represents the political opponents they have asked him to reconsider the title. So, the makers have opted for another title 'Jayasimha' for the movie now.
In fact, Balayya has done films like 'Samara Simha Reddy.. 'Chenna Kesava Reddy' in the past..but he was neither nvolved in direct politics nor he was an MLA. As the situation is different now.. they have opted for title change.
