Any Similarities btw 'Mestri' n 'Jayasimha'?

Are there  any similarities between Darshakaratna Dasari Narayana Rao's 'Mestri' and Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna's 'Jayasimha'? Some of the movie buffs say the answer is 'yes'. According to them Dasari's 'Mestri' was released during general elections,2009. The movie was a satire on then politics. Especially, the movie targeted an actor turned politician then. 

Balakrishna's 'Jayasimha' was launched recently. This is not a political backdrop movie like 'Mestri'. However, it is heard that there will be many political satires in this movie and probably, the same politician, who was targeted by Dasari in 'Mestri', is expected to be targeted in 'Jayasimha'. If 'Mestri' was released for general elections, 2009, 'Jayasimha' is slated for release during general elections,2014. " However,  unlike 'Mestri', which went on disaster, 'Jayasimha' is likely to be a blockbuster," says an observer.
