Will Reverse Sentiment Work For Maharshi?

Filmmakers till now faced huge shocks when they named their films after yesteryear blockbusters. Except for few like Malliswari and Geethanjali , almost all of them like Sankarabharanam, Satruvu, Mayabazar, Ganesh etc turned out to be disasters.

Now intense discussions are underway about Super Star Mahesh Babu's upcoming entertainer Maharshi. In 1988, Vamsi came up with a film Maharshi with newcomer Raghava in the lead. The songs tuned by Ilayaraja turned out to be a sensation and Raghava turned Maharshi Raghava. Even Sravanti banner got good name but the tragedy climax did not attract movie lovers. 

Now Mahesh Babu is coming up with Maharshi which is out and out hilarious entertainer unlike the earlier one which was a romantic entertainer. Fans are confident that according to the sentiment, Mahesh's Maharshi will turn out to be super hit.

Till now the makers failed to score a hit by naming their films after yesteryear's successful entertainers. Can Mahesh score a hit with Maharshi, naming the film after yesteryear's disaster?
