Is It 'Lion' or 'Laayan'?

Social media, of late, is aware of every minute aspect connected with movies and movie functions. Especially, netigens turned too smart enough to identiy anomalies and sharing the same with their friends. 

It is heard that some of the netigens have started pronouncing Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna's upcoming film 'Lion's title as 'Laayan'.When asked the reason they replied it's a new style of pronunciation introduced by Balakrishna during the movie's audio launch and 'Legend's 400 days function. However, when we go for rules of phonetics, shockingly, Balakrishna was right in his pronunciation. His pronunciation of 'Lion'( /ˈlaɪ.ən/)  lives up to the standards of International Phonetic Alphabet and the way most of the Telugu people pronounced the word 'Lion' was wrong.
