In April this year, posters of Imtiaz Ali’s next release began to make the rounds. The posters, came bearing an intriguing tag – "What you seek is seeking you". With a Rumi reference and Anushka Sharma and Shah Rukh Khan as lead actors, fans waited eagerly for the makers to reveal the title.
It was earlier reported that the makers had crowdsourced the name of the film. It was also reported that the film would tentatively be called ‘The Ring’. Soon, reports began to make the rounds that the film would be called ‘Rehnuma’.
It was on 9 June that Shah Rukh and Anushka revealed the official movie title via two posters on Twitter.
