AR Murugadoss is one of the very few directors who can make pan-India films, meeting the sensibilities of both North and South audiences. Most of his films were remade in other languages, some were remade by Murugadoss himself.
His ‘Thuppaki’ starring Vijay was remade by himself in Hindi as ‘Holiday’ starring Akshay Kumar. His ‘Ghajini’ was also remade by himself with the same title in Hindi with Aamir Khan in lead role. His Tamil film ‘Ramana’ was remade in Telugu as Megastar’s ‘Tagore’ and in Hindi as Akshay Kumar’s ‘Gabbar’.
Will there be any need for so many remakes if Murugadoss makes a film with a pan-India actor who is equally popular in South and North? Actually, NO. The director has sizable national market and if he teams up with a hero having pan-India appeal, the craze for the project will be inexplicable. But, the problem for Murugadoss has been, finding such hero. Well, the newly attained pan-India stardom of Prabhas can end Murugadoss’ predicament.
As per our sources, Murugadoss has a story idea for Prabhas and he is hopeful of making it into a multilingual film with the Baahubali star in lead. Knowing the film making prowess of Murugadoss, Prabhas may not lose an opportunity to work with him. The duo however haven’t yet discussed the story since they are busy with their respective commitments. Prabhas has Saaho and Radha Krishna’s love story in pipeline. Murugadoss will direct Vijay in his next project.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if the duo teams up after the aforementioned projects? If materializes, the combo project of Murugadoss and Prabhas has the potential to challenge the biggest action films India has ever produced.
