'I' isn't the first choice - Shankar

The town is abuzz only with 'I', thanks to its spectacular audio launch attended by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Superstar Rajinikanth along with an army of glitterati, that gathered at the Nehru Indoor Stadium, Chennai, a couple of days back. The film’s music scored by A R Rahman is a big hit already and hero Vikram’s hard work for his role is the topic of discussion everywhere.

While talking about the title of the film, director Shankar revealed that he actually had the titles Azhagan and Aanazhagan in mind, but since they had already been used, he had to look for alternatives. He also said that It was his wish to have a single alphabet as his film's title, for a long time. When he came across 'I' which also means beauty, he immediately lapped it up.

In a way, it seems to suggest the beautiful attributes of his hero Vikram who goes to any length for the perfection of his character.
