Analysis: is 'Kaththi' a Right Script for Chiranjeevi?

Megastar Chiranjeevi might have listened to many scripts for his prestigious 150th venture. But then, finally, he opted for the remake of Tamil blockbuster 'Kaththi'. The movie will go on sets soon. Let's go for an analysis on the suitability of 'Kaththi' script for Chiranjeevi.

WHAT PROMPTED Chiranjeevi SELECTING 'KATHTHI'?: Comparing with other stars of his generation in Tollywood and other industries, Chiranjeevi has more responsibility doing movies which have strong social message in them and the reason for this responsibility is that Chiranjeevi is not only the Megastar but also holds the status of former union minister. As such he preferred doing action drama 'Kaththi' that has strong and powerful message in it.

WHY ONLY 'KATHTHI'? AND WHY NOT OTHER SUBJECTS?: As reported earlier, a sentiment lies behind the selection of this script. Long back, Murugadoss' 'Ramana' movie was remade in Telugu as 'Tagore' and VV Vinayak held the responsibilities as a director. Similarly, Murugadoss' directorial 'Kaththi' will be remade by VV Vinayak. Moreover, 'Kaththi' has all basic elements that suit to Chiranjeevi's stature. The movie has strong social problem and its solution, mass entertaining fights, challenges with villain, soft and dignified romance with heroine and so on. 

WILL Chiranjeevi SUIT TO 'KATHTHI' SUBJECT?: 'Kaththi' is a tailor made subject for Chiranjeevi. In fact, Chiranjeevi is the best choice for this subject rather any hero owing to his Megastar status and he being a politician. 

WHERE CAN Chiranjeevi EXCEL HIS PERFORMANCE?: Chiranjeevi will be playing dual roles in 'Kaththi' and one of the roles reminds us 'Rowdy Alludu's Auto Jaani character. There will be ample chances to display Chiranjeevi's mark of romantic comedy with the heroine. And then, Chiranjeevi performance in uttering emotional and powerful speech during the press meet in second half is expected to be outstanding and it might remind the audience 'Tagore' moments. 

SHOULD THERE BE ANY CHANGES IN 'KATHTHI' SCRIPT?: Although 'Kaththi' original had gripping screen play in it, it had very limited number of songs and they were not upto the mark. Five songs can be an ideal number for Chiranjeevi. No need of trimming of any scenes as the flavour of the substance and message may be lost.

WHAT WILL Chiranjeevi ACHIEVE WITH 'KATHTHI'?: Irrespective of the result of the movie, Chiranjeevi will surely receive appreciations for the selection of the message oriented action drama. if at the the movie scores a blockbuster, the result will surely help him both politically and as a hero.
