Pawan Kalyan’s star power shines brightly in the Telugu film industry, especially with his leading role in the remake of the cult classic “Pink.” While the original film featured Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu as the leads, the remake, titled “Vakeel Saab,” took a different approach, placing Pawan Kalyan at the center of the story alongside co-stars Nivetha Thomas and Anjali. Directed by Venu Sriram, “Vakeel Saab” maintains the courtroom drama essence, yet it leans heavily into showcasing the star power of Pawan Kalyan to appeal to his massive fanbase.
The film is set for a re-release on May 1st, and those familiar with its initial launch will remember the impactful political dialogues that gained significant attention. These scenes quickly went viral, and with the upcoming general elections in Andhra Pradesh, there’s speculation that the re-release could serve as a boost to Pawan Kalyan’s political influence.
The movie’s first run faced challenges due to the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, which prevented many fans from experiencing it in theaters. However, with the re-release, there’s a fresh opportunity for audiences to enjoy “Vakeel Saab” on the big screen. Fans view this movie as Pawan Kalyan’s strongest comeback, raising expectations for its re-release.
Bookings are already open in select Hyderabad theaters, and there’s a buzz about whether the film can attract large crowds similar to “Kushi.” Alongside Pawan Kalyan, the film features Shruti Haasan as his romantic interest, with Dil Raju producing and Thaman composing the music.
