Plea

The filmmakers were made aware of a plea at the Madras High Court regarding the change of film title during early April 2019.[6] The plea suggested to not to use the term Rocky in the film title as another completed Tamil film which is on the frontline to have its theatrical release also possess the same name. The filmmakers initially announced the film title as Rocky before commencing principal photography and then after the conclusion of the filmmaking the director renamed the title as Rocky The Hero for temporal reason. However the teaser of the film revealed the title as Rocky The Revenge.[6]
