Venky, Why Second Why Not First?

Big buzz in film circles from last couple of days is about Victory Venkatesh to act in the Telugu remake of Hindi flick Jolly LLB 2. Reprising Akshay Kumar’s role from the original will not be a big challenge to Venky but a matter of truth is story, script, characterizations and court room drama was more gripping in Jolly LLB than that of Jolly LLB 2. Of course, both the parts are directed by same man Subhash Kapoor.

Jolly LLB offered a refreshing feel for audience due to presence of very strong artists like Boman Irani, Arshad Warsi and central conflict being a contemporary, controversial Land Cruiser hit and run case. Even on success norms, Jolly LLB got a wider critics applause than LLB 2 while BO has it differently.

Well, reports have it that producer S Radhakrishna of Haarika and Hassine Creations and Trivikram Srinivas have jointly bagged the remake rights of Jolly LLB 2. Telugu film analysts are inferring on LLB remake would have been a better option than LLB 2. Let’s wait and see.
