He said, "Our Tamil film was named after the main lead character Kanchana. Kanchana means gold which is a form of Lakshmi. Earlier I considered going the same way for the Hindi remake but we collectively decided that the name must appeal to the Hindi audience''.
He said,"By god's grace, it was turning out to be a cracker of a film, so we named it 'Laxmmi Bomb'. Like a dhamaka of Laxmmi Bomb cannot be missed, the transgender lead character is powerful and radiant. Hence the name fits perfectly." Watch'Laxmmi Bomb' trailerhere.
