Isn't Puli Taking Big Risk?

Producer Shobha looks like taking a big risk by pitting ‘Puli’ against the direct Telugu release of ‘Shivam’ today. As reported earlier, ‘Puli’ is actually scheduled for release yesterday but due to different financial and political implications from Chennai, the film suffered huge with morning shows cancelled in Tamil Nadu and entire AP, TS did not have a single show from ‘Puli’ yesterday.

Meanwhile, ‘Puli’ reviews and reports from Tamil Nadu were utterly disappointing. Director Chimbu Devan is beaten black and blue with words for projecting a powerful star hero like Vijay in a comic characterization. All this led to Vijay Fans deeply disheartened. Amidst such adverse reports, Telugu version is all likely to hit the screens today if financial obstacles surrounding are cleared.

Apparently ‘Shivam’ being a direct Telugu film with Ram, Rashi Khanna in leads; definitely this movie will be on advantage and ‘Puli’ can be called at big risk despite having magnanimous casting of Sreedevi, Shruti Hasan and Hansika Motwani. Let us see, how far ‘Shivam’ can loot the openings of ‘Puli.’
