Ilayadalpathi not Kollywood Badshah
Ever since PVP Cinemas had acquired the remake rights of Jr. NTR’s recent release block buster “Baadshah”, there was a buzz that Ilayathalapathy Vijay was being considered to reprise the lead role in the Tamil remake. But today Vijay has denied it in a chat with media. It is learnt after the success of “Thuppakki”, Vijay is keen in establishing himself in Tollywood so he is not very much interested in doing remakes.
It has to remember that last year Vijay refused the offer to act in the remake of “Dookudu”. Vijay will return back from Australia and join “Jilla” shoot in May. After completing “Jilla”, Vijay will move to AR Murugadoss project and the plan remains unchanged. So now PVP cinemas who acquired the remake rights of “Baadshah” have to look out for another mass hero. We have to wait and see who will do this Blockbuster remake. Keep cross your fingers for few more days till official announcement.
NTR needs to give explanation.
Fans of Nandamuri Balakrishna are unhappy with Young Tiger NTR. They want more clarity from him and this is expressed by Balayya’s fans association president. Balakrishna Seva Samiti president Kotamreddy Srinivasulu Reddy insisted that Jr NTR should give more clarity on the things happening with Kodali Nani. ‘Jr NTR has given clarity about his presence with Telugu desam, but he should also condemn Kodali Nani for accusing TDP and Chandrababu with derogatory stuff.
He attacked Jr NTR saying that young tiger should involve more in this controversy and should blast YSR-Congress for their using NTR’s image on their flexi. This fans association president is also town secretary of Nellore TDP and his words are sure backed by TDP leaders also. TDP president also responded on this flexi issues he said that there is no comparability between NTR and YSR.
