thalapathi redux

If you commit blasphemy, I say, commit it well.

Without actually casting against the grain (!), keeping both pure acting chops "and" box office commerce in mind

if you had to re-imagine Thalapathi (1991) without losing its essence, point, idea (obvious and not-so-obvious), and most importantly, try to recreate the onscreen magic (very very intangible), cast the following

Anushka Shetty Subbalakshmi

Srividya Kalyani

Siddharth Narayan Arjun

Prithviraj Sukumaran Devaraj

and

NTR Jr. Surya

minority report

My heart goes out to all those living on the fringes "within" a family/not a part of the mainstream - by choice, socially, economically, racially, culturally, habitually, sexually - who make an extra conscious effort to prove themselves instead of just letting it be. Despite being themselves unapologetically, those who harbor somewhere a little desire to prove a point to and be taken seriously by the dismissive, judgmental majority.

Sometimes not necessarily out of force but out of love for the close ones, and out of fear of losing them.

How can an EOS capture everything so well?
