So, we are told Natural Star Nani has tried a tribute to Megastar Chiranjeevi in his upcoming movie 'Gang Leader'. There is a reason behind this. 'Gang Leader' is an iconic title in the history of Telugu cinema, for it's also the title of one of the biggest hits of Chiru.

Director Vikram K Kumar and his hero seem to have thought it fit to refer to the legendary actor and his look in the film. The look was released today on the occasion of Megastar's birthday. "This shot in our film is a tribute to the classic gangleader.. on the occasion of megastar’s birthday we decided to show you a glimpse of it as a poster," said Nani.

The point is, the glimpse hasn't really worked for many. Going by early reactions on social media, the tribute is insipid.

Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, 'GL' will hit the screens on September 13, clashing with 'Valmiki'.
