Rebel Star upset with Sunil choice
By: Tupaki Desk | 24 Sep 2013 8:46 AM GMTThe announcement of the film 'Bakta Kannappa' with Sunil as the main lead came as a bitter shock to Rebel family and their fans. Here are the details for you...
'Bhakta Kannappa' which was released in the year 1976 is one of the landmark films in Krishnam Raju's career. It may be recalled that Rebel Star has expressed his wish to remake the film with Prabhas playing his part on several occasions and even has plans to produce the film on his home banner Gopi Krishna Movies in future. However, Sunil and Tanikella Bharani ruined all of his hopes by declaring they will be making 'Bhakta Kannappa' in three languages (Telugu, Tamil and Kannada).
Tanikella Bharani who made his directorial debut with critically acclaimed 'Mithunam' is going to wield the megaphone again. Why he preferred Sunil instead of Prabhas? Whether Prabhas wasn't interested to work under the direction of an upcoming filmmaker? Does Sunil got the offer due to the budget issues? (While budget of Prabhas film will be around Rs 30 crore, Sunil film costs Rs 8 - 10 crore and thus recovery of investment will be much easier due to low production cost). Whatever the reasons might be fans would love to see only Prabhas in the role of 'Bakta Kannappa' and Krishnam Raju's unhappiness is justified.
