And now…. is it SRK VS Rajini?

  • IndiaGlitz, [Friday,February 08 2008]

The travel of Malayalam movie ‘Katha Parayumbol’ has led to many interesting developments. The most exciting development is that the movie has created a situation where we could see a rare contest between SRK and Rajini this year.

‘Katha Parayumbol’ by Sreenivasan is now getting remade in Tamil and Telugu with the title ‘Kuselan’. Superstar Rajinikanth is portraying the lead role in both versions and P. Vasu directs this bilingual affair.

The latest buzz is that director Priyadarshan has got the Hindi remake rights of ‘Katha Parayumbol’. He will direct the film for Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment. King Khan will act in the role played by Mammootty in the original and our very own superstar will do the same in Telugu and Tamil.

It is a surprising coincidence that the biggest superstars of India are donning the same roles and that too at the very same time! This is sure to trigger interest among their fans and critics.

There is also another aspect which will tempt the fans to compare the two great entertainers. SRK has danced with the leading stars of Bollywood in his latest film ‘Om Shanthi Om’ and ‘Kuselan’ too has such a song in which Rajini would dance with leading Kollywood stars.

The Hindi version of ‘Katha Parayumbol’ will start rolling by July, as SRK is now busy with a project of Aditya Chopra’s ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’. SRK is said to have told to Priyadarshan that he should not change the original ‘Katha Parayumbol’ script and should be faithful to it.

In any case, it is for sure that the two superstars will be compared for their performances in the same story.
