Director Shankar angry with Koratala Siva or Siruthai Siva ?

 

Is Director Shankar upset with Koratala Siva of Devara or Siruthai Siva of Kanguva ? In a tweet he threatens legal action against some recent films that have ben lifting profusely from the book written by Su Venatesan’s book Vel Paari. Shankar has bought the rights. Some say that Shankar is angry with Kanguva director for using many situations in the novel and some found their way in the trailor. Others say the timing of the post coming soon after Devara trailor shows that Koratala Siva has liberally used from the book. Only after release of Devara can we know  and the tweet by Shankar is to warn Siva from lifting more from the book for the second part.  Kanguva is a fictional character and a Tamil warrior and could this film be the culprit. Here again a sequel is on the cards.

One post said - Su Venkatesan is a Telugu person and his main agenda is to speak or write against Tamil history. Another felt - But Director Shankar loves to portray historic Tamil characters in negative light in all of his movies. Eg. Angavai Sangavai, Panjavan Paari vendhan etc. This is exactly why this director has chosen to make Velpaari novel, which denigrates a Tamil King, into a movie.

Paari Salaan writes; Do not use historical names from Tamil history in fictional stories, especially if intended to portray them negatively. The entire novel written by Su. Venketesh Naidu portrays the Tamil kings—Chera, Chola, and Pandya—in a negative light, which is historically inaccurate. It falsely accuses them of a genocide that never occurred.

Shankar post - Attention to all ! As the copyright holder of Su. Venkatesan’s iconic Tamil novel "Veera Yuga Nayagan Vel Paari", I'm disturbed to see key scenes being ripped off & used without permission in many movies. Really upset to see important key scene from the novel in a recent movie trailer. Kindly refrain from using the scenes from the novel in movies, web series and any medium, Respect creators' rights! Refrain from Unauthorized adaptations of scenes, Refrain from infringement or face legal action! #VeeraYugaNayaganVelPaari #CopyrightProtection #FilmEthics

Acharya movie review : Out beats Akhanda in action drama

Acharya transported me to the good old days when I cheered Chiru Garu for his dance steps and fight scenes.  I thank the choreographer and stunt master for showing only this one movement repeatedly and by this they have satisfied me as a fan.  Thank You Mr Koratala Siva for giving the ` vintage' Chiru  but I did not like Chiru Garu being passive.in some scenes. Above all, I always rated Chiru Garu as Superstar and Siva has shown it. A whole village pulls a wooden chariot but it does not move. Chiru Garu just nudges it and OMG it starts to roll. Thank You Mr Siva. Also I liked the scene where a knife or a sword  pierces into a man's stomach and comes out the other side and then pierces the stomach of the man behind and comes out from other side . Chiru Garu pulls out the knife and uses to behead many more. Thoughtful choreographer - he saved on production cost.

Now I knew that Ram Charan real heir to Chiru Garu is going to dominate second half and was looking for a duo song and fight like in RRR. Thank You Mr Siva for adding comic elements in the otherwise gory fight with two Indian Cinema legends together. Mani Sharma your  music made my day . Transported to those days of the 80's and also the BGM tracks of those days that you re-used here.

Once again I thank Mr Siva for chopping off scenes of all actors except Chiru- RC and Sonu Sood. It is not only Kajol but all were given same treatment. Regina and Sangeetha could have upstaged Samantha if the film was released before Pushpa.

Art director is so innovative that the tribal villagers are living in houses with fresh coat of paint. Swacch Bharat. Thiru camera can only capture what is given to him.  Such films give me the motivation to live life to the full. Chiru Garu who is elder tan me is so robust and full of life. My humble request to reviewers please don't compare Rajamouli's way of presenting RC in RRR to Siva's Acharya.

Off theater experience : Next seat guy was saying Mirchi and another was arguing saying Dharma Teja and a third said Farishtay. I got a WhatsApp msg saying Liquat Ali Khan has moved writer union saying Acharya is Poonthootha kavalkaran. Might be a fake news as I have never seen anything so original in recent times. Now I respect Jagan Garu for agreeing to increase ticket prices. The film should have been tax free. He earned a few crores for AP treasury.
