Another action masala entertainer Katthi is coming before the audience in Deepavali fray.
Chennai: Immediately following the Pooja starring Vishal and Shruti Hasan in the lead roles, we have one more action entertainer from Vijay. The latest movie of Vijay is Katthi.
The movie is having Vijay in the lead role. Vijay is one of the top most heroes in Tamil film industry having large fan following and he has many hits to his credit.
As the competitor Pooja received mixed response at the box office (the initial ratings for the Telugu version came only 2.5/5), there is every likely that the Katthi will have more success at the box office.
The hit director AR Murugadoss is definitely a factor influencing the success rate of the movie. The director is having large fan fare among Tamil, Telugu & Hindi film industries and is seen as a person who is famous for experiments and also huge budget movies.
Murugadoss got more recognition for his movie Ghazini that started its journey from Tamil to Telugu via dubbing route and then it went for remake in Hindi with Aamir Khan portraying the lead role. The uniqueness of the movie is that the same titlted Ghazini was retained for all the three languages. The Hindi version created record collections of more than Rs.100 crores and started famous club in the name of ‘Rs.100 crores club’ thus creating a benchmark in terms of collections for Bollywood movies.
Murugadoss could even attract Bengali movie industry whereby his Tupaki went in for remake. The Tamil version with Vijay & Kajal went for dubbing in Telugu with the same name. The movie also went in for remake in Hindi with Akshay Kumar & Sonakshi Sinha playing the lead roles. The Hindi version (also directed by Murugadoss) went in for new title ‘Holiday’. Incidentally, all the versions proved successful at the box office.
