Anyone who got to catch the screening of ‘The Wolf Of Wall Street’ would be able to realize the striking similarity between this Hollywood biopic of a renowned Stock Broker & the Pongal release ‘Nannaku Prematho’.

In the biographical, Leonardo DiCaprio receives the first lesson about ‘Self-Profit’ from his boss after getting hired as a Stock Broker in Wall Street. This is what exactly the drug-addict boss says ‘Move the Money from Client’s Pocket into Your Pocket’ after punching his chest with his fist repeatedly.

In the end, Leonardo gets inspired by it & owns it literally. The thing is, Same Mannerism was used by NTR throughout the course of ‘Nannaku Prematho’. Particularly, It gets highlighted in the scene where Tarak delivers a speech to a bunch of people in the organization.

Well, The only difference between both the films would be the ‘clap’ that follows after the fist act in NTR starrer. ‘The Wolf Of Wall Street’ is based on the rise and fall of Wall Street’s richest stock broker Jordan Belfort.
