Nithin, Samantha and Anupama Parameswaran starrer A Aa (Anasuya Ramalingam Vs Anand Vihari) is running successfully in theaters everywhere. While few Telugu directors are remaking hit films of other languages or lifting plotlines from Hollywood flicks, old classic film Meena that starred Krishna and Vijaya Nirmala was the inspiration for director Trivikram Srinivas to make A Aa and hence critics unamimouslt gives thumbs up to this old wine in new bottle.
Apparently, A Aa is killing chances of superstar Krishna’s new and comeback movie Sri Sri at theaters. The film directed by Muppalaneni Siva and co-starred Vijaya Nirmala has got unenthusiastic response owing to outdated concept and making is like old bottle in old wine. Moreover, blockbuster talk for A Aa is further damaging Sri Sri. As per trade sources, A Aa is replaced in many theaters allotted for Sri Sri.
In fact, the old film Meena story was inspired from the novel of same title. Director Trivikram clarified that he met writer Yadhanapudi Sulochanarani who penned the novel when he thought of making A Aa and discussed the subject. It is also heard that, the female author made a few suggestions on script. Trivikram claims that he gave her credit in the title cards, but it didn’t appear due to technical problems. But now, her name is appeared in title credits.
For Sri Sri, Mahesh Babu gave voice over and Sudheer Babu acted in a cameo role. However, nothing has helped the movie sustaining at box office.
