The buzz that Victory Venkatesh will be teaming up with Maatala Mantrikudu Trivikram brought up many anticipations about the project. Despite some serious disturbances and even speculations that the film will be shelved as well, a wave of relief came up when it was announced that the film is on.
Telugu film fraternity as well as common audience was eagerly anticipating about the brilliant output which would come with Trivikram’s timely punches and Venkatsh’s comedy timing. But the latest update is a sheer disappointment to many. Apparently, this film will be a remake of Bollywood flick Jolly LLB 2 which had Akshay Kumar in the lead.
Though Venky made the remake of Akshay Kumar’s earlier film Oh My God as Gopala Gopala in Telugu, there are many eyebrows raised on this decision. The main reason for mixed reactions is that- Jolly LLB 2 got lukewarm response and apart from Akshay’s acting, there was nothing much to talk about. Why would a talented filmmaker like Trivikram opt for a remake of this sort- is another aspect to ponder on. However, Trivikram is yet to begin working on this project and before that, he needs to finish the current project Agynaathavaasi along with his next film with Jr. NTR.
Another buzz says that the film will be made at a shoestring budget of 10 crore. The speculations also say Jolly LLB 2 remake is only one particular option which the makers have. If there is a prospect of a new story, this would definitely go off the cards!
