Amitabh Bachchan says that no one had approved the title of his 1978 hit movie Don because the makers felt that the name was not fit for a title of a Hindi film. Don clocked 41 years on the silver screen on Sunday, May 12, and the 76-year-old thespian took to his blog to write about the film. "Don was a name title that no one in the market approved of. They (makers) never understood what it meant and never felt that a name such as Don was material for the title of a Hindi film. In fact, if truth be told - for many it was quite an amusing title," Big B wrote.
The Piku star said that the film's title phonetically sounded like an undergarment brand. "There was at the time a very popular brand of vests, the 'banyain', that was carrying the name 'Dawn'. 'Don' pronounced phonetically sounded much like that brand of under garment in the popular market and there was consternation in titling a film that conveyed an under garment," he wrote.
