There was a time when Tollywood was dominated by faction base movies and the trendsetter for faction movies was Natasimha Balakrishna’s Samarasimha Reddy. Though many films have come up in the same genre, this film holds a special place. In fact, this film turned out to be the role model for many films of that genre. And it also catapulted Nandamuri Balakrishna’s stardom to a new range and brought him closer to the masses.
Now, the news is that the film is all set to arrive again but in Hindi. Yes, news from Mumbai is that a noted production house has bought the remake rights of the film at a price of 1 crore. The other information is that the handsome hunk John Abraham would be reprising the role of Balayya.
The film was directed by B.Gopal and it had two chartbusters composed by Mani Sharma. Faction feuds have been the hot bed in the Rayalaseema region so it has to be seen how the Bollywood team is going to shape it up. All in all, it is a good feeling to see that a Telugu blockbuster which came fifteen years ago has created an impact on Bollywood circles even today.
