Emraan Hashmi starrer that was earlier titled 'Shaatir', now has a new name - 'Raja Natwarlal'.

Emraan plays a conman in the film which claims to have many twists and turns and several cons that lead to a big one.

His character is based on a real-life conman, who pulled off notorious heists and duped people of crores of rupees, by disguising himself. 

Originally titled Shaatir, the film's title was changed at Emraan's insistence. 

Says Emraan, "I've been after the producers to change the title as it is extremely catchy and etches out my character. It fits in well with the film's space and will help us in promotions." 

Adds director Kunal Deshmukh, "I always wanted to present Emraan in a never-seen-before avatar. He plays the modern-day Natwarlal. The title is apt."

'Raja Natwarlal' is slated to release on August 29.
