Mahesh Babu isn’t happy with Idiots and Shankar

Mahesh Babu, who is currently busy with Dookudu movie, will start shooting for 3 Idiots remake from Dec 6. Even though Mahesh Babu feels privileged to be the first Telugu hero to feature in a Shankar’s film, he is not happy with the star cast of 3 Idiots, rumor zones say.

If the rumors are to be believed, Mahesh Babu is not pleased with Shankar’s choice of actors for Telugu remake of 3 Idiots. It is believed that most of the actors in Tamil remake of 3 Idiots will do the same roles in Telugu version too. Shankar has reportedly zeroed on Tamil actors Jeeva and Srikanth for the other two Idiots roles while Mahesh and Vijay are doing the lead role in Telugu and Tamil respectively. Ileana will be playing the heroine in both the versions.

Rumor has it that except for few comedians most of the Tamil version’s star cast would be repeated in Telugu version. This is irking Mahesh as he feels that Telugu audience might feel watching a Tamil dubbed film with him in the lead role.

Hope Shankar reconsiders his idea of casting mostly Tamil actors and gives a better slice to Telugu actors too.

Even afterwards two weeks of its absolution the fizz about Shankar’ Magnum Opus Endhiran hasn’t eased out, but talks about his abutting adventure Three Rascals (official accommodate of 3 Idiots) has started accomplishing its circuit in media amphitheater and amid fans. Though we haven’t got any official acceptance about the cine from Shankar’s ancillary let us see why and why should not there be 3 Rascals. Why? 1) Just because of the artifice - Yes we absolutely charge a news like 3 idiots which questions the accepted educational arrangement in India area acceptance focus is alone on marks rather than knowledge. Certain dialogues can absolutely drive one to anticipate in a altered way. For e.g. Aamir Khan questions, “Rewind your activity for a minute, did we anytime anticipate that we will apprentice article fresh today which we will get pleasure in our activity at some point?” Wise, right? 2) Back you accomplish your dream appear accurate and back you are actually annoyed of authoritative a absolute action afterwards alive for added than two and bisected years you absolutely charge to allow yourself in a affair area you abeyance your analysis approach and accomplish a simple and feel acceptable movie. 3) Reports say that 3 Rascals will be a affair and will not booty 2 years of assembly time as Shankar’s added blur do.

Do we absolutely charge a accountable like rascals or article bigger than that? Though annihilation has been clearly accepted yet Shankar will be cerebration added than anyone to blow a accommodate accountable abnormally at this point of his career. Even admitting Shankar will not be absorbed in apparel remakes what one would apprehend from Shankar is to accomplish a cine based on the atypical rather than an absolute accommodate from B-town.
