Thalapathy 69 Is A Remake Of Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Box Office Underperformer? (Photo Credit – Instagram/Prime Video)

Thalapathy 69 is going to be an event film and is already among the most anticipated Kollywood releases. It puts the curtains down on Thalapathy Vijay’s successful box office run (at least for some years), as he’ll be focusing on full-time politics. Being the superstar’s final film, fans thought it’d be backed by a fresh and exciting subject, but rumors suggest that it’s a remake of Nandamuri Balakrishna’s underperformer.

The film in the discussion is Balayya’s Bhagavanth Kesari. Ever since the official announcement was made, there have been rumors that Vijay’s last film is either inspired by or an official remake of Balayya’s 2023 release. This has hurt many fans of the Kollywood superstar as they think that the remake tag dents the overall business potential of the film.

It was heartbreaking when Thalapathy Vijay announced his sabbatical from movies to join full-time politics. Many thought that the future of Kollywood wouldn’t be that good without him, but the way Sivakarthikeyan has risen over the years, we can say that he’s the next big superstar in the making. His latest release, Amaran, has taken him to the next level as the film is minting big moolah at the Indian box office.

Released on October 31, the Kollywood biographical action drama is enjoying extremely positive word-of-mouth. It’s currently in the third week and still going strong. On Thursday, Suriya came with his much-awaited Kanguva, but the film faced a complete rejection. This has given the advantage to Siva’s film, which will soon enter the 200 crore club at the Indian box office.

Reportedly, Sivakarthikeyan received 30 crores as his salary for Amaran.

Suriya’s Kanguva had been in talks for a long time, and it was expected to wreak havoc at the Indian box office. Unfortunately, on the opening day itself, it couldn’t match the mammoth expectations, and on the second day, it was a complete crash. This downfall has naturally benefitted Shivakarthikeyan’s Amaran, which is enjoying a glorious run in theatres anyway.
