The digital remastered version of superstar Rajinikanth’s old blockbuster Baasha has hit screens yet again, 22 years after its original release. Audience can now enjoy the film’s music in DTS 5.1 surround form. Veteran musician Deva who scored music for the film has redone it afresh for the digital version.
The film has retained the original dialogues though. Baasha, with Rajinikanth and Nagma in the lead roles, released in 1995. It is considered of the biggest hits delivered by Rajinikanth, who plays an auto driver with a secret past. Baasha is believed to have been inspired by the Hindi film Hum, which also starred Rajinikanth.
It took six months of hard work for technicians to restore the old print and to add vibrant colours to give it a new feel. 80 screens across Tamil Nadu are showing the film. Director Suresh Krishna, who made the film, says, “The craze for Baasha is amazing even after television channels have shown the movie umpteen number of times.”
Rajini in whatever form is a wonder and it draws crowds there is no doubt about it. It is reported that the producers of the Rajini hits are trying to release his films one after the other with improved versions like music, back ground and sound systems. If needed they will do the RR again.
At the same time Dhanush his relative is working on the sequel for Kabali. Dhanush will produce the movie and Vidya Balan is being considered for the leading lady role in the version 2 of Kabali it is reported.
