Controversy
The original working title of the film given by the writers Mukesh Jadhav and Shailendra Joy Salve was "Mirror Image". During pre-production stage the working title "Parchaaee" also came into use. However both of these had already been registered by other producers at the Mumbai office of WIFPA, and were not available for purchase from them. The search for an alternative title was undertaken by the production and direction team, along with director Mukesh Jadhav. Six alternate titles were registered and the director finally selected "Pratichhaya" as his preference. During the Mumbai schedule of the film's shoot Shreyas Talpade(aka Sreyas Talapade) repeatedly mentioned to cast and crew that he was not happy with the new title for the film. He took the opportunity to have his opinion officially recorded when a behind-the-scenes interview took place. Following this the director responded to Shreyas with a video of his own, justifying his selection of Pratichhaya. The producer, Mr Mohammed Thanseer, is considering putting the title under review, but Pratichhaya remains the official title of the film at this point in time.
