Vijay is currently working on Thalapathy 69, one of the most talked about films of the year. It is being directed by H Vinoth and will be the mass hero¡¯s last film before he turns his attention to politics. The buzz is that the biggie is a remake of Nandamuri Balakrishna and director Anil Ravipudi¡¯s Bhagavath Kesari. Amid this, actor VTV Ganesh has made a surprising revelation.
Anil Ravipudi is gearing up for the release of Sankranthiki Vasthunam, starring Victory Venkatesh.??During its promotional event, actor VTV Ganesh revealed that Thalapathy Vijay is a huge fan of Bhagavath Kesari. He added that the Theri actor requested Anil to direct its remake with him in the lead. However, as per Ganesh, the filmmaker turned down the request.?
¡°Six months ago, I met Thalapathy Vijay Sir. He said he liked Bhagavanth Kesari movie and watched it five times. He told me that he asked Anil Ravipudi to direct the film, and it is his last film. However, Anil declined the offer, saying that he does not want to do a remake,¡± said VTV Ganesh.?
Anil Ravipudi later clarified that he had indeed met Vijay but they discussed something entirely different. He added that he does not want to comment on the matter as Vijay is yet to announce Thalapathy 69. Some netizens took this as confirmation of Thalapathy 69 being a remake of Bhagavath Kesari.
?It remains to be seen whether this is indeed the case.?
Bhagavath Kesari is an action drama that features commercial elements and a strong message. It stars NBK in a mature avatar and is considered to be one of his finest films.
