Is Thalapathy Vijay remaking Bhagavanth Kesari?. Thalapathy Vijay who enjoys tremendous mass following in Tamil Nadu is gearing up to show his political prowess with his party TVK in the next elections. In the meantime, speculation is increasing over his next project referred to Thalapathy 69 to be directed by H.Vinoth.
Ever since the film's first look and other promotional activities, rumours spread that Thalapathy Vijay is remaking Natasimha Balakrishna's hit film Bhagavanth Kesari. A source speaking to scribes, threw more light on the developments. He said “He has indeed bought the remake rights but not doing an official remake. Few characters sounded similar to the original so the makers bought it unwilling to take any chances,” says the source and adds, “The relationship of Vijay and young actress Mamitha Baiju of ‘Premalu’ fame in the film is like a guardian and a young girl. Even the relationship between Balakrishna and Sreeleela in ‘Bhagavanth Kesari’ also boasts of a noble relationship. But the story and screenplay are as different as chalk and cheese,”
The source points out saying ‘Remake rumors were false and baseless because Vijay and Pooja have a good love track and songs, which were missing in the Telugu film. It is a straight Tamil subject loaded with romance and action,’
The source adds “It is a very unique and thought-provoking story with political undertones and bound to enthrall his legion of fans,”
