Unable to render title field on node template For my content type - Article I have a template

node--article.tpl.php


I currently render other fields such as the body text just fine. However the title cannot be displayed.
I'm using

print render($content['title']);
print render($content['body']);


But only the title is displayed. To make sure I'm using the right machine name, I looked at the content type configuration.



Is there something missing? Or is there something special I have to do to to the 'title' field?
I was able to print the title using 

print $title;
