Yash Raj works on film with working title belonging to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who won't give it up

The Rani-Shahid starrer produced by Yash Raj is being shot under a working title named Haddipa.

No announcement

Nahi Doonga! Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Oi Paaji, Ab Kya? Rani Mukerji and Anupam Kher on the sets of Yash Raj's Rahi-Shahid Kapoor starrer

The film directed by debutant Anurag Sinha revolves around a small-town cricket team.

It also has Rani dress up as a man and join the team. However, the production house hasn't made an official announcement of the title.

Sources reveal the reason behind the delay is that the tentative title Haddipa is with Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Yash Raj officials have been trying to convince Bhansali to give up the title so they can use it. A source reveals, "The film has Rani dress up as a Sardar and play cricket.

Haddipa is a Punjabi word and goes with the mood of the film. However, Yash Raj hasn't yet been able to get their hands on the title and have started thinking of an alternative."

Not in talks

Apparently, Bhansali is adamant about giving up the film's title and is refusing to part with it, even though he doesn't have any project with the name in the pipeline.
