Rowdy Rathore, an upcoming film by Prabhu Deva is the remake of south film Vikramarkudu. This is Prabhu Deva's second directorial venture after Wanted, which is also a remake of a Telugu film Pokiri and was the biggest hit of the year. He also directed the Tamil version with the same movie. This movie is produced by Sanjay Leela Bansali & UTV Motion Pictures.
The first look of the film was launched in BDD Chawl grounds Worli recently. Good amount of local crowd had gathered to witness the occasion. Akshay Kumar (Housefull 2) plays an IPS officer in the film & it required him to learn special technique combat karate. As we all know Akhsay has a background of martial arts training, I am sure that must have come handy. Sonakshi Sinha (Dabangg) plays opposite Akshay Kumar in the film. Surprisingly the gathered crowd was more happy to see Prabhu Deva compared to Akshay.
But that is not the news. News is that the first theatrical trailer of the film has already gone viral on Youtube. In just few days of the release of the trailer, it has already gathered 7 lakh plus hits & still counting (1 lakh is 100,000). The movie reminds us of Wanted, not for it being from the same director but the action sequence & high use of CG, basically the whole look & feel.
Will this film roll the numbers in BO like Wanted? Only time will tell. Until then here is the trailer of the film. Enjoy!
