'Bhavai': Pratik Gandhi-starrer Raavan Leela gets a name makeover

Actor Pratik Gandhi rose to fame with his portrayal of Harshad Mehta in the web series Scam 1992. The actor has another upcoming project named Raavan Leela. The film's trailer, which was released on September 9, received much appreciation from the viewers and garnered over 10 million views in three days. However, after the audiences' request, the makers of the film changed its title to Bhavai.

Talking about changing the title, director Hardik Gajjar revealed he is happy to honour his stakeholders' and audience's wishes. He further highlighted the response the film's trailer received and said, "good cinema is the need of the hour." He also claimed the film would entertain its viewers and hoped for receiving love from the viewers.
