The recent Bollywood offering, Goodbye is receiving a lot of praises for its storyline. Helmed by Vikas Bahl, the movie stars Amitabh Bachchan, Rashmika Mandanna, and Neena Gupta in pivotal roles. But do you know, it has a special connection with the Mimi actress Kriti Sanon. If not, read on!
As the film hits the theatres, audiences get to see name of Kriti Sanon appearing under ‘Special thanks’ in credits. Now, we have interesting back story to it. In a recent chat with a leading daily, the filmmaker revealed that Sanon is the one behind naming the film ‘Goodbye’.
He shared, “Kriti called me one day and remarked that mostly, my titles have had English words. Hence, she suggested that the film I am making should be titled Goodbye. In a jiffy, I realized that the title is absolutely bang-on. I told Mr Amitabh Bachchan about it. He also agreed that it’s an apt title. This is how we locked in the title Goodbye is precisely five minutes!”
A source has further disclosed that Kriti was earlier considered for the role that Rashmika played in Goodbye. But because she signed another movie, Ganapath with Bahl, the project fell in Mandanna’s kitty.
“Kriti Sanon at some point was considered for Goodbye, for the role that was played by Rashmika Mandanna. Later, she bagged Ganapath, which is also directed by Vikas Bahl. So, she must have read the script and knew what the film is all about. This is how she was able to give the suggestion for the title to the makers.”
Goodbye has opened to a positive word of mouth. The story of the film revolves around a dysfunctional family trying to mend bridges after a beloved member of their brood passes away.
