Considering the word's surging popularity Prakash Jha has registered the title Karaara for one of his future projects.

Besides giving Bollywood its first bonafide political hit Raajneeti has also added a new aggressive adjective to the normal filmy vocabularly.

So powerful and all-pervasive is the impact of the word 'Karaara' (powerful) that it's now being used liberally at celebrity events and reality shows. Prakash Jha who co-wrote the dialogues of Raajneeti (with Anjum Rajabali) was shocked to hear judges on reality- television using the word.

Though I don't intend to name any of my new film Karaara I've registered it for future reference in various combinations and permutations including of course Manoj Bajpai's rabble-rousing "Karaara Jawaab Milehga'."

Jha will part with the precious word on only one condition. "If Karan Johar asks me for it I'll give to him. I know he's strapped for Hindi titles."

In the meanwhile Manoj Bajpai who uttered the word on screen suddenly has catchphrase to combat the other opular Bihari Babu Shatrughan Sinha's 'Khamosh!'. Manoj is being requested at every public event to say the line "Karaara Jawaab Milega."

Says Bajpai, "I remember after Satya I was asked to say 'Bombay Ka King Kaun? Now it's 'Karaara Jawaab Milega' Not bad."

Manoj has been asked by at least two filmmakers to use it in his forthcoming films. But he refuses to do so. "I said the catch phrase in Raajneeti. But they were written by Prakash Jha and Anjum Rajabali. I've no rights over them
