Taapsee has opened up about the movie’s title before- “The film has been named Naam Shabana because we are linking it to Baby, and my undercover name in Baby was Shabana Kaif. It’s still too good to be true to play a title role so early in my career. It’s very exciting.” The movie will hit the screens next year.
