A film's title is the first step in grabbing a viewer's attention
much before it hits the screens. And more attention is guaranteed when a
popular film dialogue or a line from a chartbuster song becomes the
title of a movie. That's just what a slew of southern filmmakers are
doing.
Over 10 upcoming southern films have titles that are associated with popular dialogues and hit songs from past movies.
In Telugu, the titles of films such as "Oka Laila Kosam", "Oohalu Gusagusaladea, "Ra Ra Krishnayya", "Nee Jathaga Nenundali", "Kiraak", "Govindudu Andarivadele", "Gallo Telinattunde" and "Dikkulu Chudaku Ramayya" were all based on chartbuster numbers.
Akkineni Naga Chaitanya-starrer "Oka Laila Kosam" was inspired from a hit song of the same name from his late grandfather Akkineni Nageswara Rao's film "Raamudu Kaadu Krishnudu". In fact, the song was also remixed for the film.

"It was from my favourite film of my grandfather. The director suggested we remix it as it would be suitable for the situation. We convinced Anup Rubens (music composer) and he did it. Then the film was also named 'Oka Laila Kosam' as it was apt and blended well," Chaitanya had
