Six years after Telugu superstar Ravi Teja’s Vikramarkudu, a film which was much appreciated up North, stormed the box office, news comes from Hyderabad that the makers are prepared to film a sequel to the blockbuster. Interestingly, a sequel could also be being planned to Rowdy Rathore, the Hindi remake of Vikramarkudu.
But Ravi is a step ahead. His director already has an idea for the sequel. The Rowdy Rathore team remains to be to return up with an organization idea. Teja says he isn’t conscious about a sequel to Rowdy Rathore. “They’re planning a sequel? My director Rajamouli and that i also are planning a sequel and feature already begun work at the story.”
Ravi has wonderful things to mention about Akshay Kumar. “Some of the scenes were done in Prabhu Deva’s style. Akshay has done a wonderful job with the comedy. When he says I’ve done a greater job within the original he’s just being humble. He has caught directly to the mood of the unique and given it his own twist.”
Ravi does, however, find some elements from the unique missing within the remake.
“There was this big scene where I fight with the women-folk. I asked Prabhu Deva about that scene and he said, ‘Akshay fighting with women would have looked politically incorrect.’ But within the original, women loved that scene. However the remake is a blockbuster.”
Ravi, sometimes called Mass Maharaja, is from Andhra Pradesh and has spent numerous his youth in Mumbai and Jaipur. “I enjoyed the struggle. My first break came in 1997 with Krishna Vamsi after which Puri Jagannadh, my closest friend.”
Ask him how he feels about being referred to as Mass Maharaja and Ravi bursts out laughing. “One of my directors named me that. It has stuck. It feels good when fans shout that out.”
