The advance bookings of ‘Bholaa Shankar’ have opened and the tickets are already being sold at a good rate. One cannot say that they are going away like hotcakes but it is quite decent. The expectations are not quite big on this flick due to Meher Ramesh’s image and not-so-interesting promotional content. The movie is going to be a complete commercial entertainer and it is the remake of Ajith’s ‘Vedhalam’ which came out back in 2015.
The pre-release event of ‘Bholaa Shankar’ will be held on Sunday. This movie runs on sister sentiment with a routine mafia backdrop. This is a regular revenge drama just like ‘Vedhalam’. But Ajith’s film had super hit songs from Anirudh which were missing in ‘Bholaa Shankar’. Also, the highly famous transformation scene of Ajith before the interval stood as the highlight of the movie. Ajith who starts off as a coward man slowly changes his expression and becomes a ruthless guy with a psychotic laugh. This transformation paired with Anirudh’s music created a euphoria in theatres.
A lot of people from Telugu and Tamil are curious to see how Meher Ramesh recreated it with Chiranjeevi. This scene in the remake can either become a super success or become a huge meme material if things go wrong. We have seen Megastar getting compared to Vijay during the coin fight in ‘Khiaidi No 150’ which was a remake of ‘Kaththi’. Similarly, he was compared to Mohanlal when ‘Godfather’ was released. So, Chiru and Meher have a huge task in their hands which is to pull off this scene. Let us see what happens.
