Rajinikanth is the unbeaten Super Star of South Indian film industry. Despite many youngsters are arriving on screen in this current generation, his craze remained intact over decades. He is a strong force to reckon both in Tollywood and Kollywood. The Super Star Hero is all set to take the BO on fire with new release of ‘Vikarama Simha,’ the Telugu dubbed version of ‘Kochchadaiyaan.’

L. Subramaniam of Lakshmi Ganapathi Films says, ‘Rajini sir has calculated the possible stamina of Telugu version as Rs.70 Crores. Though an undisputed king of Kollywood BO, he will conquer Andhra Pradesh as well. All the way from Rs.20 Lakhs for Telugu release rights of ‘Baasha’ to Rs. 23 Crores for ‘Robot,’ he is undoubtedly phenomenal. Deepika Padukone, Sarath Kumar and others play lead role in ‘Vikram Simha’ which might release in July.

The concept of freemakes and taking inspirations from other films is quite common. In Tollywood, the general inspiration is taken from Hollywood but there are times when few Bollywood flicks are also lifted. And the talk now is about the new film ‘Iddaramayilatho’ starring Allu Arjun along with Amala Paul, Catherine and directed by Puri Jagannadh.

News is making rounds that this film is an inspiration from the Bollywood movie ‘Cocktail’ starring Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, Diana Penty. The film is a romantic triangle which runs on a serious note with two girls of contrasting personalities. As it is, there is talk that this film doesn’t have any special entertainment quotient like comedy.

If this grapevine is true then it may be a setback. So far, Bunny’s films which had more seriousness than comedy failed to work at the box office. Moreover, it has been a while since Puri has actually scored a big hit worth his caliber and his best hits have always come out of good comedy tracks. Let us see if this is indeed ‘Cocktail’ or Puri has come up with his own cocktail.
