| Here’s
a strong contender for Vijay’s
Pokkiri!! |
|
|
|
The
promos for Pokkiri show a fun film with
Vijay back in his elements at what he does
best – total entertainment. Asin is
his foil. Prabhudeva makes his debut as
director in Tamil with Pokkiri. |
|
| |
While Vijay is seeking to reestablish
his standing as a bankable star and
Prabhudeva is out to prove on his
home turf, there is some interesting
competition brewing in the backyard.
Raghavendra Lawrence, who was an associate
under Prabudeva, soon became a much
sought after choreographer and director
in Telugu. He has worked with all
the top stars there.

He did try to become hero in Tamil,
but failed. Undeterred, he tried his
hand at direction and his first film,
Mass with Nagarjuna was a big hit.
His next film, Style, with himself
and Prabhudeva has been one of the
super hits of this year, a highlight
being the presence of Nagarjuna and
Chiranjeevi in the climax. That speaks
volumes about the affection he commands
in the industry there.
Now, Lawrence is also on the home
beat with the launch of his Tamil
film, Muni for director Saran’s
Gemini Productions.

An extremely choosy Rajkiran, who
enthralled with his performance in
Thavamai Thavamirundhu, plays a weighty
character once again. With him as
the hero, one can expect either raw
energy or subdued melodrama. Let us
hope, Lawrence is able to draw out
another stellar act from him.
The talk on everybody’s lips
right now is – will it be Pokkiri
or Muni? We just cannot say, right
now.

watch this space as we bring you sneak peek
into both. |
