Sohail Khan's generous gift to Vikas Bahl and team Hunterrr

Anurag Kashyap’s song ‘I am a hunter’ from Gangs of Wasseypur was a leading chartbuster. So while the production house was brainstorming on names for a film they were producing, they borrowed the name from the song. They all mutually loved the title and zeroed on ‘Hunterrr’. While they had varied name suggestion, Hunterrr was something which was resonating the most with the essence of the film. However, when they got into formalities of registering the title, they realized the name was already registered with filmmaker Sohail Khan. Although the team tried to brainstorm another title, but in vain.

So, they decided to approach and request Sohail Khan for the title. Sohail generously gave away the registered title to them. In fact he fleetingly read the script and quite enjoyed it. Says director Vikas Bahl, "Sohail is one of the most generous people I've met in my life and one of my dearest friends..so even before I could complete my sentence, requesting for the title, he happily gave it to us... And we are so thankful to him for it as we were really struggling to get the right title for the film."
