Vishal Bhardwaj’s Indian version of Shakespeare’s famous novel ‘Othello’ has been invited to Cannes Film Festival and for the promotions of the film in a big way its makers are taking the entire cast including Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Konkana Sen Sharma and Vivek Oberoi along with director Vishal to the festival.

At Cannes, the film will have a six to seven minute screening. Actress Kareena who is much charged up about the film said, “I’m definitely planning my trip to Cannes this summer. I believe Ajay and Saif will also come along. The producer, Kumar Mangat, is going so far as to put up an Othello stall at Cannes. I think it’ll be a great experience. People are already curious about it.”

Meanwhile, Othello name deciding contest with a relevant tagline ‘What’s in a name’ (which is also taken from Shakespeare) will open up to the public next week where the public will choose their favorite title among the three short listed one’s - Omkara, O Saathi Re and Issak.

Reportedly, director Bharadwaj was quite keen on the title ‘Omkara’ but Ajay Devgan suggested a change since Omkara is his reel name and he didn’t want the entire focus to be on his character. He wants the film title to belong to the entire starcast and not just him. Therefore Devgan is keen on ‘Issak’ because the film is a love story.

Now the final decision will be left on public. In this manner Vishal ‘Othello’ will get a suitable name plus publicity.
