Pa Ranjeeth of Kaala fame is making a movie on the Kolar Gold fields. Earlier KGF was made in a cinematic fashion with Yash. Now Pa Ranjeeth is doing the movie with Vikram the super actor.
The teaser was released in October last year and the title is Thangalaan. Unlike Prashant Neel who has created Rocky Bhai character and completely fictionalised the content, this time Pa Ranjith will be making a realistic depiction of how KGF mines used to run under the British and the atrocities meted at the Indian workers.
Reports are coming that Pa Ranjith will be exploring that aspect of the once popular goldmines that were shut down now. However, how far people will be patronising this version of KGF is to be seen.
The getup of Vikram is good and it suits him. It looks natural.
Prashant Neel has done KGF in two parts and is now planning for another part. He is busy with Prabhas and planning a movie with Junior NTR.
We have to see how far Pa Ranjith will be successful with the movie Thangalan for Vikram. Vikram on the other hand is basking in the glory of Ponniyin Selvan. The second part of Ponniyin is ready for release.
