Mrigaraju Vs Adavi Raju

adavi raju Our readers may be aware that the Chiru's Sankranthi film is made on the lines of Hollywood blockbuster. 'Ghost and the Darkness'. S Madeswari, an unknown producer, is dubbing the Hollywood blockbuster in Telugu with the name Adavi Raju and releasing it in Andhra on 9th January, a two days before it's inspirational film 'Mrigaraju'This film is about a Lion. A lion troubles the workers who are constructing a bridge in the jungle and the hunter shoots the lion down. The rest of the story is about the other lions taking revenge on the Hunter. In the Telugu version of the film, Chiru is acting as the hunter and jack is acting as the lion villain. A bridge was constructed at Mahabaleswar to this effect. The English version has won 5 Oscars. This film will be released with a record number of 97 prints and this film will be a DTS one. The earlier Telugu dubbed Hollywood film release with highest prints was Mummy with 30 prints. 97 prints is a big number. Even some of the films of Top 4 Telugu heroes do not have the luxury of releasing with 97 prints. We have to wait and see if the film Adavi Raju is being released along with Mrigaraju to expose the free making policy of telugu producers and showing the telugu audience what the real taste of original film would be or this film is meant to piggyback the expected success of 'Mrigaraju'.
