Whatever the stars do become news, more so if it is related to the onscreen things. Surely, the dresses of the actors and actresses have been a major concern since it determines the fashion trends even now. So, it is evident that the film’s publicity increases manifolds if the here is a surprise about the star’s body or dress. However, it is important to project the look properly. In the past, there has been tremendous marketing of the star’s body if need be. Similar is the case with Naga Chaitanya and his potentially new look. Recently, Nivin Pauly of Malayalam Cinema had created a rage across Kerala with his dazzling lungi look. The film Prem
am went on to become a sublime hit and also created quite a sensation elsewhere because of the look. However, the Telugu remake of the film was reluctant to give themselves away to the expectations.
The initial rumors
The initial reluctance was on the basis of many things. Firstly, the lungi look, according to the team of the film, would not have fitted well in the larger scheme of thing since it will not find any resonance in the mana sensibility. However, things have slightly changed now as Chaitanya will definitely take on the lungi. But, it will not happen so straightforwardly. There is a sure twist in the tale. This twist brings all the difference between the stars and their performances with the lungi. While this is a first time in Chaitanya’s career, he is surely to going to create some hubbub with his performance.
The twist in the tale
Chaitanya, as expected, will do something different with the lungi compared to Nivin Pauly. The Malayalam version of the film has seen Nivin Pauly tucking the lungi up with legs. This is one of the trademarks of this character and surely, Chaitanya cannot simply copy this move because of obvious cultural differences. While the Lungi will not be central to Chaitanya’s character, it will surely come at a juncture. The take on the lungi will be a light-hearted and casual take and the audience will surely enjoy that moment as a comic relief. Rumors are that the Lungi will come as a surprise and is expected to garner a lot of praise.
Other information
There is miscellaneous information coming from various units of the film. Since the film’s shooting has just started, the scene is not shot yet. However, there will be a large crowd to see the shooting as it has already gathered quite a momentum in the audience. The director is trying hard to make it fit into the cultural ambit. He has explained the scenario as a cultural difference. The Malayalam version shows that Nivin and his gang enter college clad in lungis. That is entirely acceptable because of their cultural inclination. However, such is hardly the case in case of this film and hence, Chandoo Mondeti, the director wants to avoid it. But, they are trying to include the lungi as a moment of surprise by hook or crook.
