Personally, it is rather ridiculous but director Raj Mehta insisted: Karan Johar on why 'Good News' title was changed to 'Good Newwz'

Karan Johar's upcoming rom-com Good Newwz has been garnering the right amount of attention since the time the film was announced. Starring Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kiara Advani and Diljit Dosanjh, the film remains to top the list of the most anticipated ones of the year. It was last week that three official posters of Good Newwz were unveiled. And now the makers have finally released the trailer of the film and it will surely tickle your funny bones. Today, at the trailer launch event the team of the film spoke about why there was a spelling change of the title.

When asked why the film, which was initially titled Good News was changed to Good Newwz, Karan said, "Mera bhi ek superstition tha 'K' alphabet ko leke. Fir kuch aisi films hui release K ke sath usmai Kareena Kapoor Khan bhi thi, vo zyaada nahi chali. Fir mujhe laga shayad mai bas aisa supertition ke sath baith chuka hu and it is just staying with me. So, I gave up on that superstition. Many years after that, I encountered Raj Mehta who is paranoid about everything. So, he along with Azeem Dayani, who is the music curator of the film, they came to me and asked me if they could call the film 'A Good News' and I said 'A Good News' is not correct English as you cannot have 'a good news', its Good News. So, they said okay so then we will have to change the spelling and then I realized that it is Raj's first outing and Azeem is a young man and I felt that kal ko kuch galat hogaya so they will blame me so, I said okay change it. So they made it Good Newwz. Personally, it is rather ridiculous but everyone has accepted it. So, well done Raj, thank you. And I am going to make sure you change the spelling of all our films. And if this film does well then Raj will be our spell man."
