In 1980’s, there was lot of demand for Chiranjeevi films which reshaped the commercial formula of Tollywood. There were wide range of concepts and stories prepared to match the charisma of Mega Star. One in such Mega flood was ‘Pasivadi Pranam’ starring Chiranjeevi, Vijayashanthi, Baby Sujitha and Raghuvaran. All those Mega Fans cannot forget the magic in this film which stood as super hit in those times.
Relevance of this subject in present times holds significance because Salman Khan’s new release ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ also revolves around the concept of hero rescuing a small child. Writer Vijayendra Prasad penned story for this Box Office blockbuster served mainly on humanistic feel good emotions dominated over Indo-Pak cross border rivalries. The film is all set to enter into 300 Crore club easily.
Vijayendra Prasad agrees that he was moved by Chiranjeevi’s ‘Pasivadi Pranam’ and wanted to rehash the same subject with a contemporary touch. Of course, he added a few real life story elements resulting in a hit flick, directed by Kabir Khan. Hit formulas are always hit formulas. You just need to change the shape of bottle. It’s the same old wine which looks new and tasty.
