Karan Johar: 'I didn't change Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu title for Kareena'

Karan Johar has denied that he changed the title of his latest film to save Kareena Kapoor embarrassment.

The romance, co-starring Imran Khan and Kapoor, will no longer be called Short-Term Wedding.



Johar told Hindustan Times: "We had initially decided on Short-Term Shaadi because the film is about a one-night contractual marriage.

"But on reflection, we realised that this was only peripheral to the coming-of-age story of two people and would dilute the impact of the story. In retrospect, Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu seems more apt."

The title Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu translates into 'You and I' in English.

"I've grown up on the Rishi Kapoor and Neetu pairing, no-one can recreate their magic, but having seen the final cut last Saturday, I'll say that Imran and Kareena come a close second," he added.

The director also wished Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor a long marriage.

In November, the real-life couple announced that they will be marrying in the New Year after finishing the shoot for their James Bond-style film Agent Vinod.
