Vidhu Vinod Chopra has decided to rename his Yagna as Eklavya, after the character that Amitabh Bachchan plays in the film.

After completing the initial shooting for Karan Johar's Kabhi Alavidaa Na Kehna, Bachchan flew to Rajasthan to flag off Eklavya, née Yagna, with a rigorous script reading; the film's second lead, Saif Ali Khan, also flew down to join him.

Saif has never worked with Bachchan before. Parineeta director Pradeep Sarkar is collaborating with Eklavya's cinematographer to give the film a specific look.
