Actor Ravi Teja's Telugu blockbusters have made their way to Bollywood, giving Hindi cinema actors major hits as well--but it's time to put an end to the pattern. The Telugu actress believes that contracting a remake is pointless today because audiences are viewing films in their original languages.
Vikramarkudu, Ravi Teja's 2006 successful actioner directed by SS Rajamouli, was dubbed in Hindi as Rowdy Rathore, starring Akshay Kumar. Kick, another Ravi Teja movie, was remade in Hindi with the same name and starred Salman Khan.
However, in the aftermath of the pandemic, and especially with the rise of pan-India films, Ravi Teja believes that remakes have become obsolete. "No remakes today, no point in that," the star remarked in an interview with Indianexpress.com. Today, we are seeing films in a variety of languages. Today, every film is released in five languages. I believe that only films from the 1970s may be redone. Today, directors such as Rohit Shetty and Karan Johar provide audiences with a nostalgic delight, but only that type of stuff can succeed."
Ravi Teja is currently preparing for the release of Tiger Nageswara Rao, his next huge hit. Vamsee wrote and directed the Telugu period action thriller, which was produced by Abhishek Agarwal.
As the film prepares for a wide release on October 20, Ravi Teja says he is confident it will impress moviegoers because a solid action film always does well. "People enjoy action movies. Consider the flicks Pathaan, Gadar 2, and Jawan from this year. People in India enjoy action movies. If I'm not mistaken, 88 percent of people enjoy action movies. Unki audience kam hoti hai jo dhaarmik film shoti hai. There is a market for action movies."
Anupam Kher, Nupur Sanon, Renu Desai, Jisshu Sengupta, Gayatri Bhardwaj, and Murali Sharma all star in Tiger Nageswara Rao. The film will be released in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam, among other languages.
