Apparently not satisfied with the title "Three Rascals", the film-makers releasing the Telugu dubbed version of upcoming Tamil film "Nanban", has rechristened the project as "Snehithudu".

Directed by Shankar with Vijay, Jiiva and Srikanth playing the lead roles, the remake of Bollywood blockbuster "3 Idiots" will hit the screens for Sankaranthi in Andhra Pradesh and Pongal in Tamil Nadu.

'The film's Telugu dubbing work is currently on in a full swing. Since Shankar and the heroine Ileana have a big market in Tollywood, the distributors are hoping that it would become a blockbuster,' sources say.

Harris Jayaraj's music, the presence of Vijay, Jiiva and Srikanth are the other factors which are expected to work in favour of "Snehithudu", sources add.  Since the film being the remake of "3 Idiots", it has created a lot of hope and hype in trade circles.
