The actor made the revelation at the film’s trailer launch, saying that John’s gesture is unusual in the industry.

The actor said, “Earlier the film was called ‘Nurses of Cama’. We wanted to change it to ‘Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata’. When we thought of this title, we realized that it was already registered. But when we asked John Abraham who had the title, he gave it to us one day. Usually, people don’t give up without giving titles, I am very grateful to him.”
