Kathyanayakudu (remake of the Malayalam Katha Parayumbol) has the special aura and look of a typical Rajini film yet, in the place of the usual style king, audiences get to see the emotional actor in the Superstar. The Telugu remake has of course deviated from the original and incorporated a few interesting changes, Rajini's role has been considerably expanded, yet the movie is completely devoid of artifice and commercial frippery.
The story of Kuselan goes like this: Two childhood friends grow up together in a small village, then go their separate ways. One rises to become a superstar. The other struggles through life and barely ekes out a living as a barber in the same village. When the barber and the superstar meet, there is evidently a clash of personalities. But how do they overcome their differences and rekindle their friendship?
Nayantara is simply gorgeous and Meena warms audiences' hearts. Sunil, as the unfortunate barber who has to abduct customers to cut their hair, is absolutely enjoyable. Sona is his sensational pair.
The best part is that in the role of a superstar, Rajini has taken this opportunity to answer some important questions put by his fans. Why he is avoiding politics? Why do movie cameras focus mainly on the industry's big shots like Rajini and Kamal? Is there a secret behind his periodic visits to the Himalayas? If you watch Kathyanayakudu, you are sure to find answers to all these questions!
