Cinema is a bigger scale of product than the brand of Ram Gopal Varma. In fact, cinema is a platform on which RGV is doing the business today and all the hard work done from his side with January 1st releasing ‘Killing Veerappan’ might get a setback in lower order centers if common audience are really informed with one film titled as ‘Veerappan’ releasing on the same day.
‘Veerappan’ happens to be Telugu dubbed version to 2013 Tamil film 'Vana Yuddham' starring versatile artist Kishore in title role followed by Action Star Arjun as DGP Vijay Kumar, Vijaya Lakshmi as Muthu Lakshmi and Raai Lakshmi as Vijayata Vashisht. Telugu producer having the knowledge about RGV film getting more publicity with ‘Killing Veerappan’ title, they want a big share of cascading identity to fall on this ‘Veerappan.’
Hiding Arjun’s face, makers have cleverly projected Kishore, Raai Lakshmi as the selling faces for ‘Veerappan.’ The trick might be safe if people are aware of ‘Vana Yuddham’ (Tamil version) and ‘Attahasa’ in Kannada. Few sources say, both the Tamil and Kannada versions ended as profitable projects for buyers.
