Meanwhile, when asked about title Sarkaru Vaari Paata significance, Parasuram said, It is too early for me to say anything about the title but one thing is for sure, I couldn’t have found a better one. This is apt, 100 percent. No option. It has come out from the story and I learn fans are extremely happy with it. My previous title Gita Govindam was an expression that came from the relationship of Radha and Krishna. The hero and heroine have no contact, it was just aradhana and was a perfect title. This one too you will agree is the best”.
